A nurse sacked from Auckland’s North Shore Hospital after questions were raised about her dispensing of Oxynorm capsules has been found guilty of professional misconduct. The registered nurse, Crystal Schlee, now faces losing her right to practice in New Zealand, although it is understood she has moved to the United States. Her job on a medical isolation ward at the Takapuna hospital, run by the Waitemata District Health Board, was terminated in October 2012. Schlee did not attend the hearing of charges against her in the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal.
