The Board of Examiners for Nursing convened on October 2, 2025, to address critical issues regarding nursing licenses and consent orders. The meeting highlighted significant decisions, including the rejection of a consent order and the approval of a summary suspension for a nursing candidate.

The board initially voted on a consent order, which aimed to modify terms related to a nursing license. However, the motion did not pass, with all members voting against it. The board requested that the Department of Public Health's hearing office review the consent order and bring it back for further consideration. The discussions indicated a need for clarity on the terms, particularly regarding the duration of the consent order and restrictions related to narcotics.

Following this, the board moved to a motion for summary suspension concerning Ian Olinzi, a registered nurse candidate. Attorney Joelle Newton presented the case, stating that Olinzi posed an immediate threat to public health and safety due to incomplete required program hours and clinical training. The board unanimously agreed to grant the motion for summary suspension, emphasizing the necessity of protecting public safety in nursing practice.

The meeting concluded with the board preparing to address additional cases, including one involving Delilah Sienna, indicating ongoing scrutiny of nursing candidates and their compliance with training requirements. The decisions made during this meeting reflect the board's commitment to maintaining high standards in nursing practice and ensuring public safety.
