Licensed nurse in Mississippi and Arkansas surrenders license after admitting to ordering over 1,000 Xanax pills.
A licensed nurse in Mississippi and Arkansas has surrendered her license after admitting to obtaining controlled substances by fraudulent means.
The Mississippi Board of Nursing issued charges against Crystal Rose Sealy Wilson, a licensed nurse in the state, alleging a violation of the Mississippi Nursing misappropriation of drugs and the possession and administration of controlled substances outside legal directives.
According to the charges, Nurse Wilson admitted to ordering a total of 1,100 Xanax pills for herself over several occasions. These orders include 100 Xanax 0.5mg on June 10, 2021, 500 Xanax 1.0mg on July 26, 2021, and 100 Xanax 1.0mg on January 31, 2022. Ms. Wilson confessed to consuming and destroying the medication.
In July of 2022, the Mississippi Board of Nursing outlined a settlement proposal for Ms. Wilson, who may be eligible to petition for the restoration of her nursing license one year after the acceptance date, contingent upon compliance with specific conditions.
In December 2022, Nurse Wilson voluntarily surrendered her license in Arkansas and included a statement explaining that her decision to retire and surrender her license was to put an end to the scrutiny, and asserts her innocence.
