daniela -“the one and only monster is the nurse, now lawyers and PR have got to get busy, so that no long-term damage to the brandname should occur.”

Here a quote from AP

“Brookdale Senior Living, which owns the facility, initially said its employee acted correctly by waiting until emergency personnel arrived. But late Tuesday, it issued a new statement saying the employee had misinterpreted the company’s guidelines and was on voluntary leave while the case is investigated, the Associated Press reported.””

Perhaps she is the one telling the truth and the company is just doing CYA?

“As I knew all along! The employee “misinterpreted” the written guidelines. And now is on “voluntary” leave (unpaid?)

As for the prospects of her keeping her job, which supposedly was the reason she refused to perform a CPR, we will see.”

Maybe she didn’t at all? If they fire her to be their scapegoat -hopefully she has written documentation that that’s their policy and she can sue them.
