Nurse agrees to stop practicing after allegedly threatening to kill ex-husband [1]

['Clark Kauffman', 'More From Author', '- October']

Date: 2023-10

An Iowa nurse who is under investigation by licensing authorities for undisclosed reasons has agreed to refrain from practicing.

Cara Oberholtz, 46, of Audubon recently entered into an agreement with the Iowa Board of Nursing. As part of that agreement, she acknowledged she was under investigation for unspecified, potential regulatory violations, and she agreed to refrain from practicing as a licensed practical nurse in Iowa until allowed to do so by the board.

As part of that same agreement, Oberholtz’s license was suspended. The available public documents in the case give no indication as to why the action was taken or why Oberholtz is under investigation. Oberholtz declined to comment on the case Friday, except to say the matter was “none of your business.”

Earlier this year, Oberholtz was criminally charged with harassment. Court records indicate her ex-husband, Chad Oberholtz, had complained to police that Cara Oberholtz made threats to kill him. According to a police report, he provided authorities with a recording of a phone call in which Cara Oberholtz stated she was going to “take out” her ex-husband and was going to “kill” him.

Police alleged Cara Oberholtz could also be heard on the tape telling her ex-husband she’d be solving their problems and that he would understand “when you see the piece of metal.” According to police, Chad Oberholtz claimed on one occasion Cara Oberholtz’s mother warned him to leave his house because Cara Oberholtz had just left her own home and was armed with a .38 caliber handgun.

Cara Oberholtz was later convicted of third-degree harassment and sentenced to one year of probation.
