Nurse gets fired after MD complaint

After reading this article, it sounds like this nurse had a history of incompetence.

Waterloo hospital fired nurse after concerns about patient safety

[Karou]

I'm keeping in mind that there are at least three sides to every story.

While it is very basic to take a set of vitals before calling a physician, it isn't a fatal mistake. It is a stupid mistake, absolutely, but I don't see a grave/huge error there. I agree with a PP that if this physician were already biting her head off from then get go that perhaps she didn't have much of a chance to explain the situation...

I don't see how a family can blame her for their loved one having an MI and renal failure, really, what mistake could she have made to cause that? And how to prove it?

I have heard of some of the strangest most off the wall commentaries from families about their care providers, I take their perception of this nurse with a HEAVY grain of salt.

Discharging a patient with no orders sounds very bad. I wonder how that happened. Communication issue? We would have to know more.

Really, in all of these situations described in the article we would need to know more information before we can judge. I will not judge this nurse with only the information presented.
