The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has decided to revoke Joely Keen's DEA registration because she is no longer authorized to handle controlled substances in Texas. Her licenses to practice as an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) and registered nurse in Texas have been revoked, and she lacks a necessary prescriptive authority agreement with a supervising physician. Without these, she cannot legally prescribe or dispense controlled substances, resulting in the loss of her DEA registration. The order becomes effective on April 28, 2025.
Simple Explanation
Joely Keen lost her special permission to give out certain medicines because she's no longer allowed to do that in Texas, and her special nurse licenses were taken away. This means she can't write prescriptions, and another special rule will make her permission officially gone on April 28, 2025.
