Black Eye for Nurses

According to the news report there are 10 documented complaints against this male nurse for misconduct. There will be more on tonights news at 22:00 pm on channel 12 and at 23:00 on channel 8.
My thoughts exactly were "how could this be allowed to continue without intervention from the HN, the facility, the board?" Heads will roll and law suit are going to be filed.
Give me a heads up on what you are working on for the forum. It seems like no one is interested in our issues here in the wild and wonderful state of West Virginia. I am an older nurse and I have seen lots of physician misconduct here but I can honestly say that most of the nurses I have worked with here are kind, concerned for their patients and do a good job.
Which LPN school are you attending?

After all of the hoopla on the news about this male nurse and his actions against patients, there has been no further information given out on the news.
I am feeling a little irrate! The way this story was presented, the facilities represented were desperate for nurses so they hired a questionable nurse, and then proceeded to ignore patient complaints against his actions. The last I heard he was in jail, charges were pending at the board and on the civil level, and another nurse was being investigated for not reporting his actions. Sure I know there are big events happening everyday, but I do think we, as working nurses, need to say don't put out a story without some type of follow up every few weeks. It makes all nurses seem like we cover for bad behaviors on the part of a fellow nurse. Just needed to vent on this one, we all work so hard and try to do our very best for our patients and now we are working under this cloud. It just makes me angry.

Thank you ladies for agreeing that our state is indeed lovely and a well kept secret on the east coast. I love being able to go to Babcock or Greenbrier State Forest and not see very many other people. I love Twin Falls and the ride to Marlington is beautiful. But the issue here was the nmedia giving such a negative report on this male nurses allegeded conduct and the hospital administration's turning a blind eye. No mention was made on the board of report to the BON until the second time around when they mentioned another nurse being investigated. Do either of you have any feelings or input on this subject?
