Nurse who brought drugs into prison loses registration

Nurse intended to bring around 40g of cannabis into prison. A fitness-to-practice inquiry also found she failed to maintain appropriate professional boundaries with prisoners

The court ruled that the prison where the nurse worked cannot be identified. 

A nurse who admitted supplying controlled drugs into a prison while working there has had her registration cancelled by order of the High Court.

High Court president Ms Justice Irvine granted the cancellation order on Monday to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NWB), represented by solicitor J.P. McDowell.
