An Iowa nurse convicted of multiple criminal offenses related to her use of alcohol will be allowed to retain her license to practice, the Iowa Board of Nursing has ruled.
The decision allows Taylor James Gill, 31, of Bondurant, to continue practicing in Iowa as a registered nurse, subject to certain requirements for monitoring and treatment.
Earlier this year, the board charged Gill with violating regulations pertaining to the excessive use of alcohol in a manner that might impair her ability to practice with reasonable skill and safety.
The board has not publicly disclosed any of the circumstances that led to the filing of the disciplinary charge and has opted not to disclose where or when the offending conduct took place.
To resolve the matter, the board agreed last month to place Gill’s license on probation for one year. During that time, she will be required to enroll in a chemical screening program and provide random urine, blood, or hair specimens when requested, and comply with any recommendations for treatment.
