    Almost half of my cases involve a criminal process and I will try and work with law enforcement. On those cases I retrieve or subpoena documents, interview witnesses and research the nurse’s past. I look into their narcotic prescription history through a state database, check any criminal history, check into civil court history (financial and personnel), talk to past employers and look for any other information that may help me in my investigation. Having close relationships with law enforcement agencies like drug task forces, sheriff’s departments, police departments and other state agencies help me complete criminal investigations.

    And I usually give this talk to administrative law judges, but I hope that you all will get some benefit from hearing about how a hearing officer tries to decide facts impartially. This is not a new method that I'm going to talk about. It's one that I think experienced judges use without realizing it. But I identified this method during my 20-plus year career, doing state and federal administrative hearings, including numerous professional licensing boards and, as was said, the Kentucky Board of Nursing.
