Not Dead Yet reports about nurses stealing drugs from patients and two cases where nurses "assisted" a patient with suicide, although family members doubt any request was made by the patient.
They quote from the Portland Tribune article by Peter Korn, which states:
"In some cases, nurses in the monitoring program were allowed to continue in their jobs even after multiple instances of stealing medications from patients.
The state report issued Wednesday supported the Tribune’s stories and found even more problems. According to the report, even cases of alleged sex abuse and attempted rape that came before the nursing board were not referred to criminal
authorities.
And, the report found, the nurse monitoring program “does not protect the public as effectively as it protects a participant’s license to practice.”
