Nurse Surrenders License, Diverting Oxycodone
Florida nurse voluntarily relinquishes license following allegations of drug diversion.
Former registered nurse Anna Lee Carlisle has voluntarily surrendered her license to practice as a registered nurse in the State of Florida, according to documents filed with the Florida Board of Nursing. The voluntary relinquishment comes amid an investigation into allegations that Carlisle had diverted large quantities of oxycodone from Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare.
According to the complaint, Carlisle had pulled narcotics for patients not assigned to her, but the medications were never given to patients. When confronted by leadership, Carlisle resigned from Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare. The complaint also alleges that Carlisle submitted a drug screen and tested positive for benzodiazepines. Carlisle has agreed to never reapply for licensure as a nurse in the state of Florida and to voluntarily cease practicing nursing immediately.
