April 30, 2019 – The Dept. of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) served an order summarily suspending the nursing license of Susan Drust for negligence and failure to exercise due care at her practice in Norton Shores.
“The allegations against the licensee indicate that she put public health and safety at risk,” said Director Orlene Hawks. “Based on our findings, it was crucial for LARA to summarily suspend this licensee to protect patients in Michigan.”

LARA encourages all concerned residents, patients, parents and peers to file complaints against licensed health professionals who may allegedly be risking public health, safety or welfare.
