She previously has been disciplined in Missouri and Illinois for abusing drugs and alcohol while employed as a St. Louis nurse in the early 1990s. That's according to online records from the National Council of State Boards of Nursingand the Missouri Division of Professional Registration.

Under Missouri law, the State Board of Nursing can "refuse to issue or reinstate any certificate of registration or authority, permit or license required" in the event of a criminal conviction. The board also has the option of conditionally issuing or reinstating a permit or license while requiring the nurse to "submit himself or herself for identification, intervention, treatment, or rehabilitation by the impaired nurse program." 

The Post reports Warren's license is up for renewal at the end of April.
