Nursing Board Moves to Revoke License Due to Substance Abuse Violations
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 primary focus of the meeting was the respondent's ongoing issues with substance abuse and non-compliance with previous orders from the nursing board.

The hearing revealed a troubling history for Predzimirski, who has faced disciplinary actions since May 2022. At that time, the board mandated an amended memorandum of decision due to her abuse of alcohol and mental health issues. This order placed her nursing license on probation, requiring her to abstain from alcohol, submit to regular urine drug screenings, and participate in therapy and support groups.

However, the situation deteriorated further. In 2023, the board issued another memorandum of decision after Predzimirski violated the terms of her probation by abusing amphetamines and failing to submit to random drug screenings. The 2024 order reiterated the requirements of the previous year, but Predzimirski continued to struggle with substance abuse, leading to additional violations.

Most notably, on April 25, 2025, she tested positive for opiates, cocaine, and non-medical marijuana. Furthermore, she failed to provide necessary reports from her employer and support groups, raising serious concerns about her ability to practice nursing safely. The department concluded that there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate her fitness to practice, prompting a request for the revocation of her nursing license.

The hearing provided Predzimirski an opportunity to make an opening statement, but the focus remained on the serious implications of her repeated violations. The outcome of this hearing could significantly impact her nursing career and public safety in the healthcare sector.
