Williston's nursing license was revoked by the Missouri State Board of Nursing due to alleged incompetence and negligence during her provision of midwife care. Williston argued that she was acting as a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), not a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), and thus the Board lacked jurisdiction. The circuit court affirmed the Board's decision. The appellate court affirmed, holding that substantial evidence supported the finding that Williston acted as a CNM and that the Board's findings of incompetence and the revocation of her license were supported by evidence and not an abuse of discretion.","primaryTopic":"administrative-law","topicSlugs":["administrative-law","other","standard-of-review","evidence","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=167433","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/rachel-k-williston-v-missouri-state-board-of-nursing-d83295","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
