Summary

The board accepted proposed memorandum-of-decisions recommending revocation for two nurses (Delia Sienna, petition 2024-1378; Jennifer E. Marshall, petition 2025-28) after oral argument in one case and panel summaries in the other. Votes were recorded by roll call and the proposals will convert to final memoranda.

The Board of Examiners for Nursing accepted two proposed memoranda of decision on April 1 that will convert to final memoranda recommending license revocation.

In the first matter, respondent Delia Sienna provided oral argument acknowledging she left medications in her car and expressing remorse, but she denied allegations of selling or intentionally diverting medications and described personal hardships including a house fire. Department counsel said Sienna’s summary suspension began Feb. 19, 2025 and the department supports revocation based on the record, noting evidence predated the cited personal crises and included documentation from drug enforcement exhibits. After discussion, the board voted by roll call to accept the proposed memorandum of decision; the panel’s recommendation will convert to a final memorandum and revocation.

In a separate matter involving Jennifer E. Marshall (petition 2025‑28), board counsel summarized that the panel found controlled‑substance diversion and respondent’s lack of participation at the December hearing supported revocation. The board accepted the proposed memorandum of decision by roll call and the draft will convert to final.

Board members who served on the panels described the evidentiary records and emphasized the panel findings. Several members noted the seriousness of diversion allegations and the chronology of underlying evidence. The board’s acceptance of both proposed MODs followed motions (moved by Mary Diepman and seconded by Elizabeth Rivera Rodriguez in each matter) and unanimous roll‑call votes among members present.

Each proposed decision will be processed under standard departmental procedures; the board noted respondents may have post‑decision options such as seeking reinstatement under statutory criteria at a future date.
