Nurses struck off register after probe

Two nurses have been struck off the register of nurses as the results of investigations by the Fitness to Practise Committee of the nursing regulatory body, An Bord Altranais.

The nursing board released details of the two cases as well as three further findings of professional misconduct against other nurses, which led to lesser punishments.

Marylou Leal Chenilla, a registered nurse, was found guilty of professional misconduct on seven counts over her treatment of a patient at an unnamed hospital in December 2008.
