Feedback:
Stealing medications, sexual harassment of a coworker, and conviction of a felony are considered a just cause for suspending a license. Mild depression is not an uncontrolled mental illness and, therefore, is not a just cause for suspending a license. Damage to hospital equipment or lapse in license renewal is not considered a just cause for suspending a license.
