How stupid can one be? Worked hard for a license to lose it like this...

What is more disgusting is that on March 2, 2014, she took a video of a nurse cleaning an incapcitated patient's GI blood clot. She then sent the video to the other nurse's phone. The video showed the patient's rectum.

She took a picture of an incapacitated male patient's genitals on August 4.

She continued to work for 5 months after at least 1 other nurse knew she had videoed a patient's rectum.

Either the other nurse didn't report it, or the facility did nothing. Either one is abhorrent.

What she did was absolutely despicable and she should definitely lose her license. However, why does the article give her address? What's the point of that?

She sounds and looks like she has mental health issues. What she was doing wasn't exactly normal. Has she been evaluated by anyone or are they just going to prosecute her criminally so that we can overcrowd our jails some more?

I know in a handful of states, the addresses of those with professional licenses is considered public information.

Not sure if NY is such a state, or why this needed to be shared, either.

Will she be able to just move to another State and become licensed there and work again as a nurse?

Obviously losing her license is a big deal but having to register as a sex offender would seem to have been a more appropriate sentence..

Back in the day, sure, but now all of the disciplinary info and whatnot is readily accessible to the public.

I was wondering the same thing...isn't her actions equatable to registering as a sex offender?

Maybe as part of the plea deal for probation and surrendering of her nursing license they dropped it? Or it still could be part of the sentence and just not included in the article?
