Hearing finds nurse guilty of professional misconduct
Summary
In a fitness‑to‑practice hearing at the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland, Nora Bernadette Regan Territt, a former nurse at Peamount Healthcare, was found guilty of professional misconduct and non‑compliance with the nurses' professional code of conduct. The hearing focused on an incident on 8 August 2014 in which Territt pushed an elderly, intellectually disabled resident (Resident A, 94) twice – once toward his bedroom and again into the bathroom after he had soiled his bed. Witnesses reported that Territt roughly shoved him onto the toilet, pulled his shirt over his head so that faeces fell onto his head, and then showered him while he was still wearing his trousers. She also allegedly told Resident A, "I am sick of this," after he complained of stomach pain. Territt, who qualified as a nurse in 1979, had been suspended immediately after the incident and had not been present at the hearing.
