Three nurses struck off for misconduct at care home

THREE nurses have been struck off the Nursing Board register after an incident in a nursing home six years ago in which a partially unclothed male nurse had inappropriate contact with a female patient who was lying on a bed.

The Nursing Board, otherwise known as An Bord Altranais, has just published details of the incident at an unnamed nursing home in 2005.

Staff nurse Stuart Cummings was struck off the register after he was found guilty of a series of charges of professional misconduct arising out of the event.
