Board grants summary suspension for LPN Shauntae Jordan; hearing to be scheduled

The Connecticut Board of Examiners for Nursing voted unanimously Aug. 5 to grant the Department of Public Health’s motion to summarily suspend the Connecticut practical nursing license of Shauntae Jordan (petition 2025‑1148).

Department staff attorney Linda Fezzina outlined allegations included in the department’s packet: a prior Louisiana summary suspension and revocation, multiple medication‑administration concerns, video evidence suggesting documentation that did not reflect care performed, and an alleged HIPAA violation. Fezzina told the board that, under Connecticut General Statutes cited in the department’s motion, Jordan "represents a clear and immediate danger to public health and safety" and therefore the department requested a summary suspension and prompt hearing.

Jordan appeared pro se and objected to the motion, saying she is still in judicial review in Louisiana and that her hearing in Jefferson Parish Court is scheduled for Aug. 17. "I have yet to do the judicial review," Jordan said, asking the board to note her ongoing proceedings. Board members responded that the vote before them was the summary‑suspension motion; the merits of the underlying charges will be addressed at the scheduled hearing.

Acting Chair Mary Diepman said the board would schedule a hearing within the statutory period and that Jordan would receive notice of the date. Deputy legal director Liz Bannon explained the next steps but did not provide legal advice. The suspension was entered, and the board instructed staff to set a hearing before a panel of board members within the two‑week window referenced in statute.
