An Argyll nurse faces allegations that she lied about her whereabouts during a search for a missing care home resident.
Jane Divers, who worked at the Ashgrove Care Home, Dunoon, is alleged to have told a colleague that she was conducting a medication round when that was not the case.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council has now scheduled a hearing into the allegation – and three further charges – later this month.
She is charged with being dishonest by concealing her whereabouts on November 20, 2011.
Ms Divers is also charged with swearing and calling a patient a “nightmare”.
It is also alleged that on Janunary 1 last year, she did not check on a resident more frequently than at two hour intervals.
The hearing, in Edinburgh on August 21, will look at whether Ms Divers’ fitness to practice is impaired.
