Nurse who stole morphine ‘protected’
Kay Garvey, a member of the Irish Nurses Organisation (INO) executive council, said she was part of a group of nurses working at an acute unit in the Midlands who were victimised after complaining about a colleague they believed was taking the drugs herself rather than administering them to patients.
“We discovered the nurse was substituting other drugs for morphine and taking the morphine herself.”
