After a hearing this week, the board reinstated the license of Todd Stockheimer, a registered nurse who had been working for the Bristol-Myers Squibb drug company in Wallingford before being convicted of drug possession. The board also placed his license on probation for four years.

State records show that Stockheimer had abused opioid painkillers after having back surgery in 2007 and that he received many of his prescriptions from a co-worker, Dr. Robert Hindes. In an unusual twist, Stockheimer sued Hindes for negligence, blaming his drug dependency on the doctor, and won a $3.5 million judgment, the Connecticut Law Tribune reported.

Stockheimer told the board his addictions lead him into “horrible situation,” but he is maintaining his sobriety.

“I can never let that happen again,’’ he said.

This week the board also took the following action:

• Revoked the license of Rachel Brazee, an R.N. from Warren. Records show that while working at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport in 2015, she could not perform procedures, including dialysis, because of hand or body tremors or anxiety. She also abused marijuana, records show.

• Revoked the Connecticut license of Shawna Hartle, an R.N. from Preston, who was disciplined by Texas officials in 2015 for using morphine, marijuana, alcohol and amphetamines, records show.

• Revoked the license of Erin Arndt, an R.N. from Wellington, Colorado, who was disciplined by Colorado officials in 2014 after admitting she stole narcotics for her own use, records show. She also failed to disclose to Connecticut officials that she had been disciplined by Minnesota and Washington state officials, records show.

• Revoked the license of Katherine Mezzi, a licensed practical nurse from Wallingford, after concluding that from 2012 to 2015, she abused alcohol and narcotics, including cocaine, records show.

• Revoked the license of Matthew Hopkins, an R.N. from Andover, because he had violated an earlier probation by failing to go to therapy, records show. In 2015, his license was placed on probation for four years because he abused Suboxone or Dilaudid, records show.

On Wednesday, the board also placed the nursing license of Paul Pitney, an R.N. from Milford, on probation for one year. In 2014, while working at a Fairfield nursing home, Pitney took oxycodone and morphine and failed to administer pain medication as ordered, state records show.

The board also summarily suspended the license of Holly Cocchiola, an L.P.N. from Bethlehem, who tested positive for heroin after a car accident on Feb. 14, state records show. She was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance, evading responsibility and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, records show. In 2001, her license was placed on a three-year probation because of substance abuse and because she forged prescriptions for the painkiller Percocet, state records show.

The board withdrew charges of abusing heroin or cocaine against Debra Leonard, an R.N. from New Fairfield, because she voluntarily surrendered her license. Records show she was working at a Hamden nursing home in 2015 when she was accused of taking a controlled substance and failing to accurately record a narcotics count, records show.

The board disciplined five nurses in April, according to the Connecticut Department of Public Health.

The board revoked the license of Gregory Klimaytis, an R.N. from Redding, because records show he violated the terms of a four-year probation imposed in 2013 by failing drug tests three times.

The license of Kathryn Jaworski, an L.P.N. from Manchester, was placed on probation for four years because she tested positive for the painkiller Tramadol in October 2015. The positive test was a violation of an existing four-year probation agreement.

The board also placed the license of R.N. Michelle Murphy of East Longmeadow, Massachusetts on probation for two years. While working as an R.N. at Hartford Hospital in February 2015, she was accused of taking Fentanyl and Dilaudid, two powerful painkillers, for her personal use and falsifying reports. At a hearing, Murphy denied taking the drugs but said she initially admitted doing so because two drug control agents who came to home intimidated her, records show.

A six-month probation was given to R.N. Jasmine Rivera Gonzalez of Beacon Falls. State records show that while working at Bridgeport Hospital, she failed to document the waste of controlled substances in 2014.

State records show that the board placed the license of Danielle Dragon, an L.P.N. from Bristol, on probation for one year. She was accused of crushing a pill that she said was Oxycodone but was tested and found to be Tylenol, records show.

Though he’s been arrested four times since and was found wandering barefoot in the snow in 17-degree weather in 2013, the state Board of Examiners for Nursing concluded that Eze, 29, has maintained his sobriety and is now safe to “practice nursing with reasonable skill and safety.”

The board made that decision March 23 when it imposed a four-year probation on Eze’s nursing license with many conditions. He must have periodic drug and alcohol tests and visit support groups at least eight times a month.

Records show the board members concluded that Eze has fully accepted responsibility for his misconduct. At the same meeting, the board also disciplined seven other nurses.

On May 11, 2011, Eze was charged at the West Hartford grocery store with breach of peace, risk of injury to a minor and possession of weapons in a motor vehicle, the board’s memorandum of decision said.

In August of 2011, he was charged with driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the memo said. Three months later, he was convicted of criminal trespass in connection with the sword incident and received a suspended sentence of one year and probation for two years, the memo said.

In April of 2012, Eze was charged with disorderly conduct after his parents told police he was behaving aggressively, the memo said. A month later, he was convicted of DUI and received a six-month suspended sentence and was placed on probation for 18 months.

On Jan. 2, 2013, West Hartford police found Eze in the snow in his pajamas and sent him to a local hospital for evaluation for substance abuse, the memo said. Three months later, he was charged with DUI again, the memo said.

Five times in 2013, Eze tested positive for PCP and opiates, the memo said. His attorney, Richard Brown of Hartford, said Eze has maintained his sobriety for a long time and was never accused of harming a patient.

“He’s never let his personal issues affect his profession,” Brown said. “The conditions [of his probation] are such that there’s no tolerance. If he fails a drug test, he loses his license.”

In other business on March 23, the nursing board revoked the license of Lisa Kuba, a licensed practical nurse from West Haven. While employed at All Pointe Homecare of Cheshire in June of 2015, Kuba falsified patient records, abandoned a patient, violated professional boundaries with one or more relatives of a patient and drank alcohol at work, board records show.

The board also:

• Suspended the license of Gregory Klimaytis, a registered nurse from Redding, pending a hearing on charges that he violated probation by skipping drug tests. In 2013, the board had placed his license on probation for four years after he admitted stealing a painkiller, abusing alcohol and falsifying records, board records show.

• Suspended the license of RN Samantha Angelini of East Granby, pending a hearing. Records show she is accused of abusing Ritalin, Adderall, Percocet, marijuana, Suboxone, alcohol and cocaine in 2013 and 2014.

• Suspended the license of RN Dawn C. Palmer of Danielson, pending a hearing on charges that she violated probation by testing positive this year for opiates, records show.

• Approved a four-year probation for Dorsey Saunders, an LPN from Bridgeport. In a consent order she signed, Saunders admitted that while working at the Fairview of Fairfield nursing home, she stole and abused oxycodone and fentanyl in 2015.

• Approved a two-year probation for RN Amy B. Tagg of New Milford. In a consent order, she admitted stealing Percocet and Dilaudid for personal use in 2011 from Danbury Hospital when she was working there. She also excessively used Focalin, a stimulant, in 2015, the consent order said.

• Placed a one-year probation on the license of RN Karen Greenland of Windsor. In a consent order, she admitted that she failed to write down a prescription order for a patient and failed to notice that the medication was not called for in the patient’s plan of care, the consent order said.
