Delaware County Nursing Professional Voluntarily Surrenders License Upon Conviction
Julie Porter, a licensed practical nurse from Manchester, Delaware County, has agreed to voluntarily surrender her nursing license following her conviction for dependent adult abuse related to the care of a patient[1][2]. The Iowa Board of Nursing accepted her license surrender as a consequence of this conviction[1][2].
The incident in question occurred while Porter was working at the Good Neighbor Home in Delaware County. Prosecutors alleged that Porter failed to check on a resident whose condition had deteriorated[3]. The criminal convictions against Porter were upheld, and she was later convicted of dependent adult abuse and tampering with records[1][2].
While working an overnight shift at the medical facility in August 2023, Porter allegedly falsified a patient assessment report[4]. Video footage showed Porter at the nurses' station at the time she reported performing the assessment, which she later admitted was not true[5][6]. This false report was a part of the evidence used to convict Porter.
Porter was placed on probation for two years as a part of her sentence[7]. The victim in the case did not wish for Porter's nursing license to be reinstated and later informed the court they wished to see Porter's nursing license permanently suspended[8].
The Iowa Board of Nursing accepted the voluntary surrender of Porter's nursing license, effectively ending her career as a nurse in the state. The specific details about the dependent adult abuse case indicate that she was found guilty of abusing a dependent adult in her care. However, the available search results do not provide explicit details about the nature or circumstances of the abuse itself, only that it led to her conviction and license surrender[1][2].
