Angel Predzimirski, a registered nurse in Connecticut, is currently navigating a challenging situation following a hearing held by the Department of Public Health on October 2, 2025. The hearing addressed allegations related to substance use, which have led to the suspension of Predzimirski's nursing license.

During the proceedings, Predzimirski asserted that he has not abused any substances, citing his medical marijuana card as a factor in the presence of certain substances in his system. He acknowledged a recent incident involving marijuana obtained outside of a licensed dispensary, which he believes may have contributed to the allegations against him. To demonstrate his commitment to recovery, Predzimirski has voluntarily enrolled in an intensive outpatient program, which he is set to complete shortly.

The hearing revealed that Predzimirski has been out of work since May due to the suspension of his license, which he claims was communicated to him prematurely. He expressed a strong desire to return to his nursing career and is willing to comply with any necessary requirements to regain his license. Predzimirski emphasized the importance of getting his life back on track, highlighting the positive impact of the outpatient program on his mental health.

As the hearing progressed, it was noted that Predzimirski had not formally admitted or denied the charges against him, although he stated his intention to deny all allegations. The legal proceedings will continue as the board reviews the evidence and testimonies presented.

This case underscores the complexities faced by healthcare professionals dealing with substance use allegations and the critical importance of support systems in their recovery journeys. The outcome of this hearing will significantly impact Predzimirski's future in the nursing field and his ability to provide care to patients in Connecticut.
