(KLZA)-- A former nurse from Nebraska City has been sentenced in federal court in Omaha for acquiring a controlled substance by fraud, which is a felony.
38-year-old Skye Parde was sentenced by Judge Brian C. Buescher to 3 years probation and fined $5-thousand.
In November, 2018, administrators with Ambassador Health, an assisted living facility in Nebraska City, reported the theft of controlled substances to local law enforcement after learning that narcotic pain medication had been repeatedly refilled from a pharmacy bun not logged as given to patients.
An audit determined that more than 6-thousand tablets of Hydrocodone, Tramadol, and Oxycodone prescribed to 23 different assisted-living patients had been ordered but were missing from the facility.
Staff observed most of the medication refills had been ordered by Parde, who was employed at the facility at the time as a registered nurse on the night shift at the facility.
The case was investigated by the Nebraska City Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
