Nurse who allegedly posted images of nursing home resident’s buttocks loses unfair dismissal claim

A nursing home sacked a clinical nurse manager after she allegedly set up a Facebook account on which images were posted of a resident’s buttocks and of a deceased resident laid out in her bed in preparation for her funeral.

The nursing home sacked the nurse manager in November 2018 for gross misconduct and the nurse manager has now failed in an unfair dismissal action against the sacking at the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC).
