CONWAY, S.C. — A South Carolina woman was arrested on multiple counts of distributing drugs and unlicensed practice as an registered nurse on Wednesday.

Heidi Bishop Dumm, 35, from Conway, distributed various controlled substances to multiple patients at Conway Medical Center without a valid nursing license, according to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. Among the drugs administered illegally were morphine, oxycodone and fentanyl, authorities said.

Dumm also attempted to trick a drug screen test by trying to substitute her urine, according to the report.

She was also accused by her former employer in 2018 of diverting drugs by accessing the physician’s computer and entering false orders.
