Summary
- Iowa Board of Nursing suspended a nurse's license due to public safety concerns.
- Allegations include record falsification and medication mismanagement.
- A hearing is scheduled for June 12, 2026, to resolve the case.
An emergency order has been issued by the Iowa Board of Nursing, suspending the license of registered nurse Glenn Thronson due to alleged threats to public safety. The board stated that Thronson, licensed in Iowa since 2021, poses an immediate danger. Investigations into past complaints concluded he engaged in unethical conduct detrimental to the public.
Thronson faces formal charges including falsification of nursing records, misappropriation of medications, and improper disposal of drugs. His previous employment includes roles at Spring Park Surgery Center and University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. The license suspension is deemed necessary for public protection until the case is resolved.
A hearing concerning these serious allegations is scheduled for June 12, 2026. The Iowa Capital Dispatch was unable to obtain a comment from Thronson regarding the matter.
