You sound like Judge Boyd when she hands out guidelines with someone she puts on probation,no home care with minors or no unauthorized supervision with minors!!!
Definitely. "Forgetting" something can easily kill or permanently harm someone. Nevermind the fact that she's fine with taking medications from people who are already in pain. That patient has to suffer while she sits back and gets high.
She's a manipulative Chameleon who changes to fit the situation. She should NOT be working in any compacity of nursing ever & if they don't take her license to protect the patients they are complicit in her behavior what a disgrace she is
@@eggsngritstn Yep, I used to work in trauma/resuscitation now I am over in oncology. I would lose my sh*t if I learned of someone diverting pain medication from patients.
Sadly, it’s much easier to divert drugs in nursing homes than in hospitals. There aren’t the checks and balances in place to catch this sooner. And unfortunately the residents, many who cannot speak or advocate for themselves, are the ones who really suffer.
I spent months in a Nursing Home recovering from a spinal cord injury. I'm also a retired FF/Paramedic and can tell everyone, theft of narcotics is a big problem in some facilities. It's easy for a soulless nurse to take a dementia patients pain meds and slipping them Tylenol, taking discharged patients meds then blaming them for losing them, or probably the sickest, taking the narcotics of a patient who has died. Now, 99% of the Nurses, CMTs, and Aides I've met on my journey have been excellent, caring, professional, and honest, but its that dastardly 1% that blows everything up
@@psinclairjr I needed my first resection surgery due to damage from Crohn's Disease on 11/28/2007 and was hospitalized for 10 days. I had to spend a week in the hospital approximately 6 weeks before surgery because I had developed a gnarly abscess in the space between my stomach and transverse colon that required installation of a PICC line but they needed that week to nail down which IV antibiotics I would need to take at home to clear up the abscess before surgery. I had one particular male RN during that week who worked graveyard shift. I know for a fact he diverted my overnight Dilaudid doses on the 3 nights he worked. He would come in and scan my armband while doing the verbal name/DOB confirmation and I have no clue what he shot into my IV but it damned sure was NOT Dilaudid. I'm one of those folks who truly does have bad reactions to Morphine and Dilaudid offers me at least a tiny bit of relief, like taking me from a 7 or 8 down to a 3 or 4. I don't get the euphoria from it but I can definitely tell when it starts to ease my pain. All 3 nights he worked I was in excruciating pain until the morning shift came in. He never came back around to check on me until changeover but I was terrified to say anything to anyone, aside from asking for my meds when enough time had passed. It's difficult enough as is to have to be on long-term pain management so I was afraid I'd get even worse stink-eye than I was already getting at that point if I said I knew he wasn't actually giving me my meds. Every hospitalization since then I've had a family member with me for the duration because my family was irate once I got home and told them what I felt had happened. I begged them not to say anything because I didn't want any flags on my record. Thankfully, I've had honest nurses since then but you never forget how helpless it feels to be in that kind of pain but scared to rock the boat. 😔 Wishing you the very best and hoping you've had a smooth recovery. 💜💙

Dilaudid is an opioid approximately two to eight times greater than that of morphine and has a rapid onset of action.... Let that sink in. As a nurse you never stop/allow anyone to interupt you while administering a patient/resident their medication. You complete the medication pass, not stick the medication in your pocket. That is called "pocketing medication" and is done itentionally. She did not have a Tylenol but a Dilaudid which I'm certain she planned to take herself. Why did the morning medication not test in the blood? Because it was never give to the patient/resident. She needs her license revoked immediatly! If morning meds were given by a different nurse they also need investigating.
She only got a 12-day sentence followed by probation!!! PLEEEASE!!! She should be forced to do a year or two!!! She's done nothing but try to work the system!!!
Why allow her to take a plea if she's not acknowledging guilt. Don't accept it, Go to trial. Sure, people accidentally carry Dilaudid around all of the time. Interesting that she didn't accidentally take a BP med, or diuretic, or a statin home.
Plus apparently, per her, there is exculpatory evidence that helps prove her innocence. You'd think her lawyer would jump on all that if it had any value.
I don't know what nursing controls are in nursing homes but in the hospital Schedule 2 controlled substances like Dilaudid are VERY tightly controlled, while I was in the hospital several years ago one of the nurses told me what they had to do every time they picked up my controlled prescription pills from the hospital pharmacy to administer them to me -- what a clusterfuck. I have been on morphine for years (legitimately) and even for my doc to prescribe them without being in a hospital she has to jump through 20 hoops for every controlled prescription.
Agreed! Lol, a lot of drugs we accidentally take home. Dilaudid isnt one of them. She says the Supervisor wasn't there to take the vial. Then you CALL. You call until you reach someone above you to give direction. Have a witness to these phone calls. This isn't difficult. Nurses know what needs to be done.
Retired nurse, worked 30+ years. Saw several nurses do the same thing. They always got caught! The last hospital i worked at in ICU, everything was computer controlled. Takes some of the ability to divert.
@@amandadoubleu9748 Judge Boyd won't know about it to dis-allow it, until she's already quietly done it. In fact, at ~21:28 he did not forbid nursing, since he figured she couldn't return it (a doubtful assumption).
She may have already, since she appeared before "the Board" aka the Board of Nursing for her state. I didn't hear any mention of what the outcome of that was. When the judge said not to pursue employment in healthcare, he could be saying in another capacity other than nursing.
So the nursing home finds out she's being investigated. They do the right thing and investigate how she's caring for patients. She acts like she's being persecuted. Definitely needs to find a different line of work.
I'm a retired RN of 42 years that returned to work at age 70 because I love being a nurse so much. I'd never ever consider doing anything that might jeopardize my license or integrity for decades. Nursing school was so long and hard, why risk all that effort for a drug rush? I was a Hospice RN for 17 years with such easy access to medications but never once considered playing any drug game. Crazy the few I've ever known did and lost.
i have never worked directly in the healthcare field ...i have developed bespoked software for a Hospice ..in it i set trigger points for checks and balances to alert the Hospice owner in case of anything was out of the ordinary..i was the only one that knew what the parameters were so that no one could circumvent the system...
Wow, she just tried to throw the dude under the bus; just like the title says. She pled guilty to try and get a lighter sentence and now wants to get squirrely.
This was wrong call !!! I spent 30 years in level 1 Trauma Centers ( Northwestern in Chicago, UCSD in San Diego, etc) in ICU as a RN, a ICU Manager, and also a Hospital Administrator. The judge did her no favors. She simply would not be truthful in court. That was a choice. Now she feels like she escaped, got away with true punishment. She will manipulate and lie her way through the programs. But worse, she is still an addict and she WILL find ways to get her fix. She needed jail time, to shock her. Hopefully she won’t hurt anyone around her during her community correction. But I would put odds on it, that she will.
I'm all for giving a nurse a second chance..but she can't even admit what she did. She needs to never care for a patient again ever. I agree, letting her go to "counseling" isn't going to help her. She is NOT ready to stop using. We really need to make mental health hospitals with locked wards a thing again. She is going to go right back to her drug of choice, hopefully she doesn't passaway before getting cured.
She wasn’t stealing people’s medicine. She was gaming the system. Entering narcotics given to patients who weren’t prescribed them, and taking them herself. Thinking nobody would notice. Those types of heavy pain medications are strictly monitored. How she thought she was going to get away with it more than once is pure addiction.
As a nurse, the Department of Nursing (or the equivalent in every state - I'm in FL) has a program for drug diversion. It is not an automatic to lose your license, but individual fact patterns do matter.
Her problem is HER, not the drugs. She discovered after she started taking the first DRUG...it relieved her of the pain, agony, whatever misery she was suffering from HER "problems"...which she knows she has and would rather "feel good" on drugs instead of facing her issues and working through them.
After she's done, let's talk about her super sketchy employer who didn't notice for far too long, let things slide repeatedly, and then didn't even want to fire her.
My dream growing up was to become a nurse. Marriage , children, and life for in the way. If I HAD succeeded in my dream, I would have NEVER put my license in jeopardy. 😢
Sadly, this judge is out of touch with the real world. If she still has her license, any nursing home could hire her! There are many homes desperate for nurses!! She could be hired as a home health nurse as well!!
@cmstacy You missed my point. Unless there are restrictions or her license taken away, she will still be able to steal drugs! Badly run nursing homes will hire anyone!
She gotta a hard way to live because her denial runs deep. She has drug problem and you plead guilty to something you didn't do??? You took the drugs to use it. ow you want folks to believe it was a mistake. Girl get some help and get it soon. She wouldn't know the truth if it came out of her.....
Her supposed issues that she stated all go along with addiction disorder. She will not admit she has a problem and has no intention of changing this. I’m very glad to hear the nursing board already came down on her. She sounds like she’s under the influence in court. She thinks she’s slick and can talk her way out of punishment.
this judge is a no nonsense guy. We definitely need that in our legal system! Can deduce if this woman is delusional or in denial? Hope she gets it worked out to salvage whatever part of her life she has left. 22:45
What do you mean that clown 🤡 of a judge is a no nonsense gut? Are you dreaming? He is a weak and permissive judge who lets criminals go free to commit more crime! He should be ashamed of himself! He took an oath to uphold the law and he is not doing that! He is a clown 🤡 and a weak and permissive judge! He should resign! That vile nurse should have gone to prison! But no! This ridiculous clown 🤡 let her go to commit more crimes! And she certainly will!
This person is GUILTY. The system is not helping patients. She IS being enabled to harm them. Judge says the charges are correct. Then he says What am I going to do with you? I KNOW...HOW ABOUT MORE PRISON, twelve days doesn't quite measure up.🤔
Exactly 💯! He is a very weak and permissive judge! He should be ashamed of himself! He took an oath to uphold the law, and he is not doing that! He is letting criminals to go free to commit more crime! And this vile defendent will most certainly do that!
After spending a lifetime being deceitful, deflecting her own guilt, compartmentalizing her activities, she is going back to another facility where she is tasked with caring for those who are ill or infirmed. And the next time she does this stuff again, it will be the patients who made her do it, or her boyfriend, employer, fast food clerk, auto mechanic, etc. She will never fess up. And there will be a next time. When you are an addict and close to drugs, you cannot resist.
At least here in Michigan it isn't "can" it is "will" revoke a similarly situated nurse's license to practice -- for LIFE!!!!!!!!!! Of course, this is Ohio we are talking about so all bets are off.
I'm learning there are certain buzz words commonly used by the defendants. "Better myself" is one of the most frequently used across these court shows. I guess the lawyers give them the verbiage to use in court?
The judge says no one was deprived of their medication but had already said a patient was tested & had none of the specific medication in their system?? Never seen a judge allow a plea when the defendant is saying they aren't really guilty.
Judge: is there anything you’d like to say on your own behalf before I sentence you? Nurse: No ,Your Honour (“HER” Best Possible Answer). She’s lucky this Judge is such a softy
This judge is usually much more direct with defendants. I have never seen him this gentle. It is up to the state medical licensing board, not the courts, to revoke her nursing license. Which I hope they do for the safety of the patients. Making it much more difficult for her to earn a living in the medical field is much more punishing than any jail time. It's up to her to get her act together. She's got a lot of work to do, Your guess is as good as mine as to whether she can do it.
I'm at 15:44 and still waiting to hear from her how many AA/NA meetings she has been attending? So far = 0 !! By the way, there are Support Groups for Nurses just like this and again, she says NOTHING about attending such groups. She is stuck in the "blame everyone else" mode...it is not going to go well for her.
@@edhuber3557 Stealing prescription pills intended for patients at a nursing home should carry a lifetime revocation of her nursing license and about ten years of "Dr. Guard treatments" while living in a state prison. WTF?????
I have seen many judges on TH-cam and this is the first time I have seen a judge accept a plea from a defendant who clearly states she is innocent of the crime she is taking a plea for.
Tap dancing before the court, trying to figure out what the judge wants to hear. That said, I would hope that she no longer has access drugs that are meant for patients.
I had a Director of Nurses who was diverting medications when I was a new nurse and I was clueless. Didn't even know what diverting medications meant. She died young. Had another one who stole our house MDs prescription pad and was writing narcs to herself. Another crafty one, traveled around and like this woman, worked all different shifts. She was stealingbentire cards of narcs, and then investigating the thefts. Unbelievable amount of nurses are damaged and damaging.
not giving her prison time is a huge mistake. everyone knows what the first step of alcoholics anonymous is, or what the first steps of parole are. its admitting your addictions, or guilt, and being honest. her house of cards mentality cant bear the truth.
I'm going to weigh in on this. First of all, this chick absolutely has a drug problem. Not a doubt in my mind. The only thing I wonder about is she would know or at least have to know that upon shift change there has to be a narcotic count. I guess breaking that down in a side topic would be why was she allowed to leave with a narcotic missing? Was there not an adequate narcotic check when she was relieved of duty and went home? Second, the judge taking the plea deal while she's saying she's not guilty - any court of appeals is going to reverse that decision if She decided or her attorney decided such actions were warranted. Now, I think the plea deal she got is pretty lucrative as compared to a jury trial where it can get much much worse punishment-wise. This third one I'm going to go on a bit of a rant so stay with me. Third, the problem with controlled substances is that these doctors back in the '90s severely undertreated those with chronic pain issues. For a lot of these folks what started off as untreated acute pain soon led to a lifetime of chronic pain. Then in the mid-2000s, doctors began handing narcotics out like they were door prizes every time you went in the office. The problem still to this day is there are so many physicians who do not understand or treat pain as a vital sign. Now I know these doctors who were handing this stuff out like candy, like the play dumb and act like they didn't realize how addictive this stuff was and I go bulls**t. They began overtreating it because they realized it was profitable for them. Every narcotic prescription created a lifetime customer. These customers or patients didn't come back because of your great bedside manner, or the ability to get in and out of your appointment quickly. No, they came back because they HAD to, otherwise they were going to be in pain from whatever ailment they had Plus have to go through opioid withdrawal which only amplifies that pain. There was a study a few years ago that said: ** "For those over 21 years of age, approximately 10% have experienced pain for 3 to 12 months, and almost 50% have had pain longer than one year. Nearly half report their pain is uncontrolled". That's crazy, nobody should have to live like that. The DEA intervened though and rather than require doctors to include pain management in their continuing education, or allow these family doctors to treat these patients on a case-by-case basis with detailed notes outlining the patient's progress, instead the DEA said that family doctors can only write a narcotic prescription for like 15 to 20 pills maximum then they have to refer them to pain management. The DEA's solution for the opioid epidemic was treated much the same way a parent would treat a situation where they found their two children fighting over the same toy. In this example, one child is the patient who truly needs the pain medication and the other child is the one looking to abuse it. Still though, when you're in that situation what do parents normally do? They take the toy and now nobody gets it. That's pretty much exactly what the DEA did. You can't do that with people's pain. It affects the quality of their life. The number of people who sachet off this planet almost daily because of pain issues and being tired of putting up with it is unreal. The DEA made a damn near impossible for anybody to have pain relief. Pain management on average can take anywhere from 2 to 6 months to get into. So what the hell are these people supposed to do in the meantime? I'll tell you what they do - enter stage left, the heroin epidemic. On the other end of the spectrum you had pharmaceutical companies that had developed numerous pain relief medications that had some level of risk for addiction. Addiction to all of us is viewed as something that is bad. The word addiction to a pharmaceutical company means anything but bad - It means profitable. It means repeat customers who will buy your drug even if they have to steal from a family member or even steal the medication, and yes even if they steal somebody's medication that person still has to buy more of it because now they need it. What bothers me about the controlled substance act is that they talk about the comorbidity associated with these scheduled drugs/narcotics - yet our government doesn't seem to have a problem with alcohol being so damn near in every store in this country. Even crazier is that people don't die from opioid withdrawal. People do die however from alcohol withdrawal - It is literally life-threatening. So why is an alcohol controlled? Because it's lucrative is why. It's lucrative for the manufacturers, the stores that sells the alcohol, and ultimately the government who gets a nice big tax check from the sale of these alcoholic beverages from corporations and manufacturers every quarter.
Whether her claims were true or not she'd still be more than incompetent. She's trying to pass it off as if she's a horrible nurse for making mistakes when shes actually a horrible nurse for having 0 moral conduct.
This Judge makes me crazy!!! He seldom allows people to finish their sentences. And I feel like he asks questions when perhaps people don’t wish to speak
Disgusting! People in hospital, in pain, depending on their medication and pain relief and this person signs off on it and takes it herself. Shame on you lady!! Stop with your lies.
At this point in her life she will not get better. She can't make a confession about what happened, she stole drugs and took them but it was all a mistake...wow..I hope she gets help, but she NEVER ever should be a nurse again and take care of anyone or anything..
Girl, Stop lying!! You were diverting medications. You have a substance use disorder!! Stop lying to yourself and get help!!
Her nursing license needs to be immediately and permanently revoked. She never should be allowed in any nursing (or child care) ever again.
💯 agree
Exactly 💯! I agree!
Ever.....EVER.... NEVER!!!!!
She is nothing but a "big-ass" LIABILITY!!! I feel sorry and scared for ANY patient who would be under HER care!!!

Nursing school was so long and hard, why risk all that effort for a drug rush? I was a Hospice RN for 17 years with such easy access to medications but never once considered playing any drug game. Crazy the few I've ever known did and lost.
Not just the fact that she’s risking her licence but shes taking medication away from people who depend on it. That’s abuse.
i have never worked directly in the healthcare field ...i have developed bespoked software for a Hospice ..in it i set trigger points for checks and balances to alert the Hospice owner in case of anything was out of the ordinary..i was the only one that knew what the parameters were so that no one could circumvent the system...
Wow, she just tried to throw the dude under the bus; just like the title says. She pled guilty to try and get a lighter sentence and now wants to get squirrely.
This was wrong call !!!
I spent 30 years in level 1 Trauma Centers ( Northwestern in Chicago, UCSD in San Diego, etc) in ICU as a RN, a ICU Manager, and also a Hospital Administrator. The judge did her no favors. She simply would not be truthful in court. That was a choice. Now she feels like she escaped, got away with true punishment. She will manipulate and lie her way through the programs. But worse, she is still an addict and she WILL find ways to get her fix.
She needed jail time, to shock her. Hopefully she won’t hurt anyone around her during her community correction. But I would put odds on it, that she will.
I'm all for giving a nurse a second chance..but she can't even admit what she did. She needs to never care for a patient again ever. I agree, letting her go to "counseling" isn't going to help her. She is NOT ready to stop using. We really need to make mental health hospitals with locked wards a thing again. She is going to go right back to her drug of choice, hopefully she doesn't passaway before getting cured.
Call the fire department cuz her PANTS ARE ON FIRE!! 🙄😂
💯 agree
Liar liar🎶🎵🎶
😅😅😅😅😅😅
Stop stealing ppls medicines
She wasn’t stealing people’s medicine. She was gaming the system. Entering narcotics given to patients who weren’t prescribed them, and taking them herself. Thinking nobody would notice. Those types of heavy pain medications are strictly monitored. How she thought she was going to get away with it more than once is pure addiction.
@@Tread1775 Was about to say that. Her employer seemed way too lax.
She is both unwilling and incapable, of admitting error.
she is a women. of course she wont take accountability
@@xabhaxOh wait one dang minute! It’s human nature. Men do the same thing!
She sounds like she is high right now.
She does.
She probably is high! If I were the judge, I'd have this addict tested immediately!
As a nurse, the Department of Nursing (or the equivalent in every state - I'm in FL) has a program for drug diversion. It is not an automatic to lose your license, but individual fact patterns do matter.
Her problem is HER, not the drugs. She discovered after she started taking the first DRUG...it relieved her of the pain, agony, whatever misery she was suffering from HER "problems"...which she knows she has and would rather "feel good" on drugs instead of facing her issues and working through them.
Thanks for bringing this to us. The therapy started with the judge. I hope she gets some good out of her probation.
She is in denial.
Obstinate denial 😮
Some crimes should not be community supervision.
EXACTLY 💯! Agree!
After she's done, let's talk about her super sketchy employer who didn't notice for far too long, let things slide repeatedly, and then didn't even want to fire her.
I would be willing to bet it was a severely understaffed nursing home so management looked away until they couldn’t anymore versus losing a nurse.
@@Boo_kitty_kat That, plus maybe they feared the extra attention could bring to light other poor practices at the facility.
@@AUser-t6n 💯 agree. That facility is rotten from the top down.
Nursing home owners care absolutely 💯 nothing about their patients! Only the patient's insurance money! They have no conscience! They are vile!
She’s hooked …
My dream growing up was to become a nurse. Marriage , children, and life for in the way. If I HAD succeeded in my dream, I would have NEVER put my license in jeopardy. 😢
Sadly, this judge is out of touch with the real world. If she still has her license, any nursing home could hire her! There are many homes desperate for nurses!!
She could be hired as a home health nurse as well!!
She could still work but not be able to administer narcotics.
@cmstacy You missed my point. Unless there are restrictions or her license taken away, she will still be able to steal drugs! Badly run nursing homes will hire anyone!
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't. All she says. It's an accident . Good GRIEF
Lie lie. She seems very, very suspish
She gotta a hard way to live because her denial runs deep. She has drug problem and you plead guilty to something you didn't do??? You took the drugs to use it. ow you want folks to believe it was a mistake. Girl get some help and get it soon. She wouldn't know the truth if it came out of her.....
Great upload CourtCamTV….. !!!! Gratitude.
Her supposed issues that she stated all go along with addiction disorder. She will not admit she has a problem and has no intention of changing this. I’m very glad to hear the nursing board already came down on her. She sounds like she’s under the influence in court. She thinks she’s slick and can talk her way out of punishment.
💯 agree
EXACTLY 💯! She is a criminal that should go to prison! She is a danger to the community!
In nursing, a criminal charge and conviction should be her rock bottom, however, I feel like she’s got a basement she hasn’t arrived at yet
this judge is a no nonsense guy. We definitely need that in our legal system! Can deduce if this woman is delusional or in denial? Hope she gets it worked out to salvage whatever part of her life she has left. 22:45
What do you mean that clown 🤡 of a judge is a no nonsense gut? Are you dreaming? He is a weak and permissive judge who lets criminals go free to commit more crime! He should be ashamed of himself! He took an oath to uphold the law and he is not doing that! He is a clown 🤡 and a weak and permissive judge! He should resign! That vile nurse should have gone to prison! But no! This ridiculous clown 🤡 let her go to commit more crimes! And she certainly will!
How does a judge take a guilty verdict plea deal when the defendant claims she's not guilty?? Please lawyers explain to me...
He is a weak and permissive judge! He allows criminals to go free to commit more crimes! Totally unacceptable!
This wasn't the plea. This was the sentencing. The plea already happened and she admitted guilt. The judge pointed that out to her.
This person is GUILTY. The system is not helping patients. She IS being enabled to harm them.
Judge says the charges are correct. Then he says What am I going to do with you? I KNOW...HOW ABOUT MORE PRISON, twelve days doesn't quite measure up.🤔
Exactly 💯! He is a very weak and permissive judge! He should be ashamed of himself! He took an oath to uphold the law, and he is not doing that! He is letting criminals to go free to commit more crime! And this vile defendent will most certainly do that!
After spending a lifetime being deceitful, deflecting her own guilt, compartmentalizing her activities, she is going back to another facility where she is tasked with caring for those who are ill or infirmed. And the next time she does this stuff again, it will be the patients who made her do it, or her boyfriend, employer, fast food clerk, auto mechanic, etc. She will never fess up. And there will be a next time. When you are an addict and close to drugs, you cannot resist.
Yes! This weak ridiculous judge allowed her to go free, she got by with this, so she most certainly do it again!
"Slippery" is the perfect word 🤦♂️
Exactly 💯! With a weak out of touch judge! He should be ashamed of himself! He took an oath to uphold the law, and he is not doing it!
Shes lucky there lots of things she can do with her degree that doesnt involve pt care.
Why would she sit up there and lie.
The state board will have to review this and can take her license.
At least here in Michigan it isn't "can" it is "will" revoke a similarly situated nurse's license to practice -- for LIFE!!!!!!!!!! Of course, this is Ohio we are talking about so all bets are off.
@@mharris5047EXACTLY 💯! A weak and permissive judge! He should be ashamed of himself! He took an oath to uphold the law, and he is not doing that!
Stop allowing family, mental (unless really insane) and drug issues to be mitigating circumstances!!
Why is this judge giving her lies or delusions so much consideration? Just jail her. And make sure that she never practices nursing again.
I think he's gathering more information from her to seal the deal for when she goes again in front of the nursing board.
The Sarah Boone Effect, NOT MY INTENT!😂😂😂
🎯🎯
Would love to see the previous hearings of this case!
You don't have them, do you?
How you can be a nurse and have jail on your record is insane
YANK HER LICENSE
DO YOU WANT HER TAKING CARE OF YOUR LOVED INES JUDGE
I'm learning there are certain buzz words commonly used by the defendants. "Better myself" is one of the most frequently used across these court shows. I guess the lawyers give them the verbiage to use in court?
EXACTLY 💯!
Is she chewing gum???? Hum...Denied!😅❤
I know what to do with this vile nurse! She needs to go to prison! Denial? No! She is a pathological liar! She should go to prison!
Agreed!!!
She needs help.
Oops! How did that get in there?
The judge says no one was deprived of their medication but had already said a patient was tested & had none of the specific medication in their system??
Never seen a judge allow a plea when the defendant is saying they aren't really guilty.
My guess. She told she gave missing meds to patient. They tested that person and found nothing. He wasn't prescribed to take that day.
Agree! This is a very weak and permissive judge! This is what is wrong with our justice system! Criminals allowed to go free!
She clearly has a drug problem.
Judge: is there anything you’d like to say on your own behalf before I sentence you? Nurse: No ,Your Honour (“HER” Best Possible Answer). She’s lucky this Judge is such a softy
she was most likely the undercover abuser, where the partner takes the blame even though she started it
This judge is usually much more direct with defendants. I have never seen him this gentle. It is up to the state medical licensing board, not the courts, to revoke her nursing license. Which I hope they do for the safety of the patients. Making it much more difficult for her to earn a living in the medical field is much more punishing than any jail time. It's up to her to get her act together. She's got a lot of work to do, Your guess is as good as mine as to whether she can do it.
He seems to be a weak judge! This vile woman should have been sent to prison!
I'm at 15:44 and still waiting to hear from her how many AA/NA meetings she has been attending? So far = 0 !! By the way, there are Support Groups for Nurses just like this and again, she says NOTHING about attending such groups. She is stuck in the "blame everyone else" mode...it is not going to go well for her.
She is very smart, maybe to her own detriment.
That judge is weak. He didn't even make a condition that she can't work in health care
Doubt that he has that authority. That's up to the licensing board. Seems like they are aware of her already.
That’s not up to him, that’s up to the nursing board. Besides, with her criminal record nobody in healthcare will hire her
@@shane515yahoo yes, he does have the authority.
This is addict 101. Everyone is against her, people are being manipulated, everyone is lying and everyone is wrong except for her.
I really love this judge. I’ve only watched this courtroom a few times but he’s always just no nonsense.
Theres alot of Nurse Jackie's out there.
Sadly, you are right!
In my opinion which doesn't really make s difference, she seems to be in denial of her addiction to drugs. I hope dhe gets the help she needs.
She’s needs time management 😂
Perhaps in jail. Bet she'd count the days precisely.
@@edhuber3557 Stealing prescription pills intended for patients at a nursing home should carry a lifetime revocation of her nursing license and about ten years of "Dr. Guard treatments" while living in a state prison. WTF?????
I have seen many judges on TH-cam and this is the first time I have seen a judge accept a plea from a defendant who clearly states she is innocent of the crime she is taking a plea for.
The plea was already entered and couldn't be taken back. This was the sentencing hearing is my guess.
SHAME ON THE PROSECUTORS!!! TOO LAZY TO DO THEIR JOB!!
Exactly 💯! I agree!
She said earlier counseling would be good. This Judge just loves to hear himself talk!!!
Addiction is a disease of denial. Not unusual at all
EXACTLY 💯! I agree 👍!
Tap dancing before the court, trying to figure out what the judge wants to hear. That said, I would hope that she no longer has access drugs that are meant for patients.
You do not go to a mental health professional for time management or organization issues That is ridiculous.
Multiple cases where she's endangered people and continues to lie. Glad the judge called her out. She needs her license revoked.
I had a Director of Nurses who was diverting medications when I was a new nurse and I was clueless. Didn't even know what diverting medications meant. She died young. Had another one who stole our house MDs prescription pad and was writing narcs to herself. Another crafty one, traveled around and like this woman, worked all different shifts. She was stealingbentire cards of narcs, and then investigating the thefts. Unbelievable amount of nurses are damaged and damaging.
not giving her prison time is a huge mistake. everyone knows what the first step of alcoholics anonymous is, or what the first steps of parole are. its admitting your addictions, or guilt, and being honest. her house of cards mentality cant bear the truth.
She's playing crazy
She is in denial. She has a drug problem.
She would not be a nurse taking care of anyone that I love or know. 😡
How does medication go from a dispensary to a “bag” unknowingly? Serious BS
I wrote the date backwards 😮really
She knows actually what she was doing. Everyone was out to get her and the person that's getting her is herself
Thank God that they caught you
I'm going to weigh in on this. First of all, this chick absolutely has a drug problem. Not a doubt in my mind. The only thing I wonder about is she would know or at least have to know that upon shift change there has to be a narcotic count. I guess breaking that down in a side topic would be why was she allowed to leave with a narcotic missing? Was there not an adequate narcotic check when she was relieved of duty and went home?
Second, the judge taking the plea deal while she's saying she's not guilty - any court of appeals is going to reverse that decision if She decided or her attorney decided such actions were warranted. Now, I think the plea deal she got is pretty lucrative as compared to a jury trial where it can get much much worse punishment-wise.
This third one I'm going to go on a bit of a rant so stay with me.
Third, the problem with controlled substances is that these doctors back in the '90s severely undertreated those with chronic pain issues. For a lot of these folks what started off as untreated acute pain soon led to a lifetime of chronic pain.
Then in the mid-2000s, doctors began handing narcotics out like they were door prizes every time you went in the office. The problem still to this day is there are so many physicians who do not understand or treat pain as a vital sign. Now I know these doctors who were handing this stuff out like candy, like the play dumb and act like they didn't realize how addictive this stuff was and I go bulls**t. They began overtreating it because they realized it was profitable for them. Every narcotic prescription created a lifetime customer. These customers or patients didn't come back because of your great bedside manner, or the ability to get in and out of your appointment quickly. No, they came back because they HAD to, otherwise they were going to be in pain from whatever ailment they had Plus have to go through opioid withdrawal which only amplifies that pain.
There was a study a few years ago that said:
** "For those over 21 years of age, approximately 10% have experienced pain for 3 to 12 months, and almost 50% have had pain longer than one year. Nearly half report their pain is uncontrolled". That's crazy, nobody should have to live like that.
The DEA intervened though and rather than require doctors to include pain management in their continuing education, or allow these family doctors to treat these patients on a case-by-case basis with detailed notes outlining the patient's progress, instead the DEA said that family doctors can only write a narcotic prescription for like 15 to 20 pills maximum then they have to refer them to pain management.
The DEA's solution for the opioid epidemic was treated much the same way a parent would treat a situation where they found their two children fighting over the same toy. In this example, one child is the patient who truly needs the pain medication and the other child is the one looking to abuse it. Still though, when you're in that situation what do parents normally do? They take the toy and now nobody gets it. That's pretty much exactly what the DEA did. You can't do that with people's pain. It affects the quality of their life. The number of people who sachet off this planet almost daily because of pain issues and being tired of putting up with it is unreal. The DEA made a damn near impossible for anybody to have pain relief. Pain management on average can take anywhere from 2 to 6 months to get into. So what the hell are these people supposed to do in the meantime? I'll tell you what they do - enter stage left, the heroin epidemic.
On the other end of the spectrum you had pharmaceutical companies that had developed numerous pain relief medications that had some level of risk for addiction. Addiction to all of us is viewed as something that is bad. The word addiction to a pharmaceutical company means anything but bad - It means profitable. It means repeat customers who will buy your drug even if they have to steal from a family member or even steal the medication, and yes even if they steal somebody's medication that person still has to buy more of it because now they need it.
What bothers me about the controlled substance act is that they talk about the comorbidity associated with these scheduled drugs/narcotics - yet our government doesn't seem to have a problem with alcohol being so damn near in every store in this country. Even crazier is that people don't die from opioid withdrawal. People do die however from alcohol withdrawal - It is literally life-threatening. So why is an alcohol controlled? Because it's lucrative is why. It's lucrative for the manufacturers, the stores that sells the alcohol, and ultimately the government who gets a nice big tax check from the sale of these alcoholic beverages from corporations and manufacturers every quarter.
They should have fired her because she can hurt someone by stealing their meds for herself
Whether her claims were true or not she'd still be more than incompetent. She's trying to pass it off as if she's a horrible nurse for making mistakes when shes actually a horrible nurse for having 0 moral conduct.
If she was not taking the drugs, she must been selling them. The judge did not ask her that.
I was amused at how the lawyer's coat barely cleared the table/podium
This Judge makes me crazy!!! He seldom allows people to finish their sentences. And I feel like he asks questions when perhaps people don’t wish to speak
Disgusting! People in hospital, in pain, depending on their medication and pain relief and this person signs off on it and takes it herself. Shame on you lady!! Stop with your lies.
How does she still have a nursing license?
Everyone health facility needs to know about her before they hire her. And she does not need to do home health
Slippery? She been partying with Diddy?
So how is diverting pain meds from patients not being a bad person? Must be a liberal judge in a liberal state.
He is an Ohio judge! He is weak! Soft and permissive, and allows criminals to go free to commit more crimes!
At this point in her life she will not get better. She can't make a confession about what happened, she stole drugs and took them but it was all a mistake...wow..I hope she gets help, but she NEVER ever should be a nurse again and take care of anyone or anything..
