Schiavo's Nurse to Keep License

PLANT CITY -- Nurse Carla Sauer-Iyer won't lose her nursing license for discussing former patient Terri Schiavo's condition on television last year.

A Florida Board of Nursing panel dismissed a complaint against Sauer-Iyer on Thursday after a lawyer representing the Department of Health said rules requiring nurses not to disclose patient information also require them to report ``apparent neglect and abuse'' of patients.

What did you expect?

The Gov weighed in on it. That made it a political issue.

"Report," yes -- but to the appropriate state authorities, not the national media!! I think it's a shame she's keeping her license; I thought her behavior was extremely self-serving, inappropriate, and unprofessional.
