Nebraska attorney general seeks to revoke license of only nurse at prominent abortion clinic

OMAHA, Neb. — A prominent Nebraska abortion clinic is facing a new legal challenge from state officials who want to revoke the license of the clinic’s only nurse because of allegations of questionable care.

Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning said Wednesday that he has filed a petition with regulators to revoke Lindsey Creekmore’s license. Creekmore is the only nurse at Dr. LeRoy Carhart’s abortion clinic in the Omaha suburbs.

Bruning said Creekmore improperly delegated some patient care to unlicensed staff and failed to accurately follow patient medication orders for sedatives and labor-inducing drugs.

“Clinic records show a significant pattern of substandard care practices that, in any surgical center, would endanger the health and safety of the public,” Bruning said.

The Christian Taliban is taking over, one little step at a time. Kind of like a frog in a pan of water- most Americans won't wake up until it is too damn late.

One of those things that makes you go hmmmmmmmm.

I hope someone is investigating the records filed by the nurse making the complaint. And I hope they check her bank account for a recent suspicious deposit.

This is probably another witch hunt based on a malcontent ex-employee.

what amounts to a potential employment and licensure issue? How is that his responsibility? Did she commit a crime? Clearly political and inappropriate--I remember this asshole, by the way. He lost his Senate primary to Johanns.
