FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (CNN) -- A Fort Lauderdale nurse has resigned and more 1,800 patients have been notified that they may have been exposed to diseases such as HIV and hepatitis, after the nurse allegedly admitted to the hospital that she used disposable IV equipment on multiple patients, a violation of safety standards.
Reuse of disposable equipment violates "universal, standard" safety policy, a hospital official noted.
I would love to get inside her head to know why she did this. It's not like she was paying for the equipment herself. Not that that's an excuse...
I hope no one gets seriously ill from this. And I hope her nurse's license is forever revoked, no matter where she lives.
