Thank you for responding to my many questions. Yes, I did read the news article. It states she was "CHARGED. I could not get access to the "SBON of April 1, 2004." Nor was I able to reply to your post. I could go no further without getting out of the thread.
The thing that I find very chilling, is if a person is "charged," how many nurses already convicted her without having a trial. If she pleaded guilty at the April 1, 2004 with the SBON, I could understand a little bit more. However, if this nurse is already convicted by her peers, I can understand the nursing shortage. How horribly scary to know you can be accused and convicted if you have not had a trial.
I am not a bleeding heart. When I was a new nurse, I had a charge nurse "help me out by giving my demerol shots for me" and I was there when they arrested her. So I am not saying that she should not be held responsible if she is guilty of depriving a patient in pain of relief from that pain. I would be furious if this was withheld from me. I am not stupid, and I know whether I got pain relief or not.
With the many that have convicted her without a trial, I am totally appalled at how viscous and judgmental the number of nurses that judge without really knowing all the facts. We are all taught to assess and analyze and make a judgment. This is quite scary to me to be in presence of a nursing environment like this. I am also a nurse and in my mind, if they judge without investigation and facts, this is indeed frightening. I am also a consumer of health care and I generally trust the judgment of the nurses that care for me.
Can you give me the particulars on this board about the SBON on 4/1/2004 that I am not able to access?
