Samantha Jones

Registration # 027307
Decision Date June 26, 2020

Conditions Imposed, Suspension Lifted

In a decision dated June 26, 2020, the NANB Fitness to Practice (Review) Committee accepted the Alternate Complaint Resolution Proposal (“ACRP”) submitted by Samantha Jones, registration number 027307 (the “Member”).  As a result of the admissions made in the ACRP, the Committee found that the member’s actions (which included stealing narcotics from her workplace, falsifying patient charts and narcotic waste records, and lying to prescribers to obtain unnecessary increases in patients’ narcotics doses so she could steal the overage) constituted professional misconduct, conduct unbecoming a member and dishonesty.  The Committee accepted evidence that the Member is now fit to practice, and ordered that the suspension imposed on the member’s registration by the Complaints Committee in a decision dated April 24, 2018 be lifted and conditions be imposed on the member’s registration.
