NOVEMBER 21, 2000 - The Michigan Department of Consumer & Industry Services (CIS) has summarily suspended the registered nurse license of Steven Ray Haley, R.N. for drug diversion. The CIS Bureau of Health Services orders a summary suspension when it believes the public’s health, safety and welfare warrant emergency action.

Haley has a history of substance abuse and admitted to diverting controlled substances for his own use from his employer. Haley was referred to participate in the Health Professional Recovery Program (HPRP). The HPRP is a non-disciplinary monitoring program that supports recovery from substance abuse, chemical addiction and mental illness. Enacted in 1994, the HPRP encourages health professionals to address their problems before their impairment harms a patient or damages their careers. Haley failed to take the steps necessary to enter into a non-disciplinary monitoring agreement.

An administrative hearing will be scheduled to address the status of Haley’s suspended nursing license.
