The Connecticut Department of Public Health held a hearing on October 2, 2025, regarding the case of Angel Predzimirski, RN, under Petition No. 2025 740. The meeting focused on multiple violations of previous orders related to substance use and compliance with monitoring requirements.

The hearing revealed that Predzimirski had been placed on probation by the Connecticut Board of Examiners for Nursing due to issues related to alcohol abuse and mental health concerns. The initial order, issued on May 18, 2022, mandated that she refrain from using alcohol or drugs, submit to random urine screenings, and participate in support group meetings. However, subsequent orders in 2023 and 2024 indicated continued violations, including the abuse of amphetamines and alcohol.

During the hearing, Predzimirski admitted to some violations but denied others, particularly regarding the use of opiates and cocaine. She acknowledged a positive urine screen for nonmedical marijuana, attributing it to social use during a visit from a friend. Predzimirski expressed frustration over her license suspension and claimed she had attempted to submit required reports to her employer and healthcare provider, but these submissions were not completed.

The board's findings indicated that Predzimirski had failed to comply with the terms of her probation, including not submitting necessary reports and failing to attend required drug screenings. The hearing concluded with discussions on the implications of these violations for her nursing license and the potential for further disciplinary action.

This case highlights ongoing concerns regarding substance use and compliance within the nursing profession, emphasizing the importance of adherence to regulatory standards for public health and safety. The board will review the evidence presented and determine the next steps in Predzimirski's case.
