Nursing While Impaired

When you’re in the field of nursing, it’s vital that you be at your best every day. That was not the case with Donna Kemker of Sioux City, Iowa. Police reports say that she was observed purchasing and consuming alcohol and then returning to work at the hospital. Police got involved and administered a test to measure her blood alcohol content. Kemker failed the test that said she was over three times the legal limit to operate a motor vehicle. Kemker can no longer practice nursing in the state of Iowa.
