CONCORD — A former Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital nurse from Windsor will plead guilty to federal charges she pilfered drugs while working at the Lebanon hospital but will avoid immediate jail time under plea agreement reached with prosecutors.

Amy Vickers, 45, will serve two years probation and has agreed to not seek reinstatement of her nursing license during that period, according to the plea agreement that was entered into the court record in U.S. District Court in New Hampshire on March 28.

The federal charge was reduced to a single misdemeanor count of possession of a controlled substance from the initial felony-level charge, court records show. The lower-level charge to which Vickers pleaded guilty carries a maximum sentence of one year and a maximum fine of $100,000.

Vickers, who New Hampshire professional licensing records show had been subjected to a prior disciplinary action for diverting drugs at other Upper Valley hospitals where she worked, was charged with stealing hydromorphone, an opioid drug, from APD’s dispensing system. When asked by hospital administrators if she was diverting the medication, Vickers admitted she had been doing so for several months and “using all of the missing medications while on duty as a nurse,” according to the government’s complaint.

Vickers, formerly of Bradford, Vt., and now of Windsor, is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court in Concord on July 24.
