As an RN I would never administer IV fentanyl to anybody. That's the doctor's job.
Our ICU and ED nurses push/drip fentanyl frequently. I’ve ordered a lot of it but never personally administered it.

Yes, I remember that, I live in Columbus.I do remember that back in the mid 1980's, Ohio State University Hospital in Columbus had the same problem with an intern by the name of Michael Swango.
Several patients had died at University Hospital under mysterious circumstances where Michael Swango worked as a floor intern.
But due to lack of physical evidence, prosecutors in Columbus weren't able to charge Michael Swango with murder.
I also remember that this was a major story all over the Columbus news media back then.

The legionaries cases were at the new hospital in Grove City Ohio, (My husband was a patient there at the time of the break out) not the one where Husel worked. The old hospital was very old.I know this isn't exactly on topic but I feel it applies as it shows how bad the Mt Carmel hospitals are. Multiple lawsuits already filed. Like I said locals that worked on this building tried like crazy to warn everyone how poorly built this new building was. No one would listen. I wouldn't take my dog to any Mt Carmel hospital. Hubby went there one time years ago and was miss diagnosed. After that I said never again and started taking him to OSU

There is a homicide nearly everyday in Columbus, Ohio. I bet the courts are backed up and not getting any better with covid postponing hearings.I was watching the 11:00 PM local news tonight and WSYX-TV is reporting that the trial for Dr. William Husel which was to be held next month has been delayed again and likely won't be held until sometime during the middle of 2022.
The judge who is presiding in the Husel trial said that on his current docket, he had twenty other homicide cases where jailed defendants were waiting to have their trial.
The judge explained that due to the huge increase in the number of homicide cases, jailed defendants currently awaiting trial on homicide charges were a higher priority than unjailed defendants awaiting trial on homicide charges.
The anchor on WSYX news mentioned that there were 174 homicides in Columbus during the year 2020, and that there were currently 52 homicides in Columbus so far this year.
