Judge tells censured nurse she is 'lucky' not to get more serious penalty for taking vulnerable man's leisure device

A senior nurse who took home an electronic leisure device delivered to a residential unit for a vulnerable man, and who concealed she did that for some weeks before eventually returning it, has been censured with conditions attached to her registration.

High Court president Mr Justice Peter Kelly said the nurse was "lucky" the Nursing and Midwifery Board (NWB) had not asked him to confirm a more serious sanction.
