In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the case of Janice Pierre, a registered nurse who is currently under summary suspension. The department expressed concerns that Pierre's continued practice poses a \"clear and immediate danger to the public health and safety,\" particularly as she was practicing without a valid license at the time charges were drafted against her.

During the meeting, Pierre denied the allegations outlined in paragraph 10 of the statement of charges, asserting that she has never practiced as a licensed registered nurse. She explained that her nursing license was obtained shortly after a personal tragedy involving the loss of her son, which impacted her ability to practice.

The board reviewed various exhibits related to the case, including an email from Derek Williams to Pierre, which contained updated hearing information. Pierre indicated she had not received all relevant documents and requested clarification on the language used in the exhibits. The board agreed to send her the materials for review, allowing her to determine if she would object to their inclusion as evidence.

The department indicated they had not seen the exhibits either but anticipated no objections to their admission. The meeting concluded with plans for Pierre to review the documents and provide feedback on their acceptance as part of the ongoing proceedings.
