A Tennessee nurse has had her license revoked for swiping her patient's pain pills and getting high while at work.
Misty Hoke, 41, of Ashland City, Tennessee, worked as Assistant Executive Director at the local Vantage Point Assisted Living facility for the elderly until she was forced to quit on September 19, according to Tennessee Board of Nursing records recently obtained by Scoop: Nashville.
Hoke's sudden resignation came the same day she was seen slurring her words, acting strangely and 'displaying hyperactive behavior', while on the job.
After investigating, staffers found Hoke had withdrawn prescribed hydrocodone pills at 8am, 11am, and 3pm that day, but never gave them to the intended elderly female patient who had complained about not receiving her pain medication since the morning of the same morning.
