Nurse loses license after thefts at Cedar Rapids facilities

After being convicted of stealing the medication of multiple nursing home residents, a nurse from Preston has agreed to surrender her license. In June 2025, licensed practical nurse Jaci Moore, now 33, was charged by Waterloo police with third-degree theft after it was alleged she stole 74 items, putting some in her purse and some in a shopping cart, worth $847. She later pleaded guilty to the charge and received a deferred judgment. In October 2025, Linn County prosecutors alleged that Moore was working at the Heritage Specialty Care in Cedar Rapids in September 2025 when she “mis-administered and/or took” approximately 43 oxycodone pills by falsely claiming the patients had requested the medications and then falsely claiming she had administered the drugs. When interviewed by police, Moore allegedly admitted that she had an oxycodone addiction and also admitted stealing 10 or 12 of the patients’ oxycodone pills. She was charged with felony prohibited acts involving controlled substances. In December 2025, Linn County prosecutors charged Moore with a second count of prohibited acts. In that case, prosecutors alleged that an investigation by the state’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit found that while Moore was working as a nurse for the Harmony Cedar

Williamsburg teacher featured in Kirkwood newsletter

Williamsburg teacher Joe Degen was featured in the winter newsletter of Kirkwood Community College’s Iowa County center this month. Degen is social studies teacher for grades 7-12 at Williamsburg Jr./Sr. High School. “At first I wanted it to cover some of my general education requirements,” said Degen in the newsletter, explaining why he took classes through Kirkwood. “Then when I found out where I wanted to go I tried to take them to cover as much non-major stuff that I could.” Degen said in the newsletter that taking Kirkwood classes while he was in high school helped him find more time to take the classes he wanted to take when he got to college. “It also helped me get more general education classes completed so I had more time to focus on my majors (history and education).” Kirkwood’s Michael Jacobsen was a big help to Degen during his time at Kirkwood Iowa County Center, he says in the newsletter. “…[D]ue to his experience as a former social studies teacher, I was able to talk about my career path and a potential four-year plan before I even knew what college I was going to pick,” Degen said. “When I got to
