Nurse Mary A. Walton, then employed by Maxim Healthcare, was assigned to exclusively care for one patient between March and June 2022.<\/p>\n

In August 2022, Walton messaged the patient\u2019s father on Facebook and \u201cvoluntarily disclosed information suggesting she and [the patient\u2019s] mother were involved in fraudulent activity related to nursing work and payments,\u201d an order from the board states.<\/p>\n

In an audio recording provided to Maxim Healthcare by the patient\u2019s father in April 2025, Walton reportedly admitted to falsifying notes and being paid to perform care she did not give. Walton indicated she split those funds with the patient\u2019s mother, according to the board\u2019s recounting of Maxim\u2019s complaint.<\/p>\n

Between April 27, 2022, and June 2, 2022, Walton documented and signed 27 comprehensive nursing notes, including assessments, vital signs, medication administration and intake\/output. Those notes indicated the patient\u2019s mother was involved in care throughout Walton\u2019s shifts.<\/p>\n

During an investigation by Maxim Healthcare, Walton and the patient\u2019s mother denied the allegations. But Walton later admitted falsifying records and splitting payments with the mother to assist her \u201cwith lawyer fees during a custody case,\u201d the board\u2019s order states.<\/p>\n

Walton, now 34, was also convicted on DWI charges in Guilford County in 2019 and did not report the conviction to the board in subsequent license renewal applications. She could not be reached for comment.<\/p>\n

The board issued Walton a formal reprimand Monday, June 1, and ordered her to complete continuing education credits on ethics, professionalism and boundaries.<\/p>\n
