Nurses back at work after injury hearing

THREE nurses who accidently injured a colleague when a prank went wrong returned to work yesterday after a disciplinary hearing.

The nurses’ union, however, refused to comment on the outcome of the hearing which followed an incident in which a nurse suffered a serious eye injury at the Accident and Emergency department of Cork University Hospital.

The three nurses were suspended from work after the incident on October 31. But details only became public yesterday ahead of the disciplinary hearing.
