Will A Nurse Be Blamed for this Incident?

If you read this website then you know in my opinion, ---- rolls down hill in any healthcare facility and its usually the nurses who take the brunt and blame for an incident, occurrence, etc.

See this article on the Cincinnati Enquirer website about an illegal immigrant who was shot and ran over during an alleged robbery attempt. This guy was was shot and is now a parapalegic. He was awaiting trial and because the Sheriff's Office could not provide for his care at the local jail, the resident was being cared for at the Residence of Greystone, a nursing home with the Carrington System.

In all fairness, I must say that I have found that the Carrington System to be one of the few facilities in my opinion that work with nurses as far as workplace issues. Most facilities love the fact that nurses are at-will employed and use this to its advantage. But that's another post....

The resident was released and discharged from custody and its a big stink here in Cincinnati.
