The nurse administered morphine without assessment or appropriate prescription, a watchdog finds.
A nurse who administered morphine to patients without assessment or appropriate prescription has been struck off.
It found such actions were likely to be repeated in future due to her "apparent lack of remorse or remediation".Miss Callon, who worked as a nurse for almost 20 years and had an "unblemished career", was referred to the NMC on 27 August 2019 by the ELHT. The reason for the administration was not documented in the nursing notes and the prescription chart was missing, the NMC said.
The scope of the investigation was widened to look at the administration of morphine to other patients under her care after other findings emerged during the internal investigation.The NMC has now ruled Miss Callon, who resigned on 5 August 2019, should be struck off as she had not "demonstrated or upheld proper professional standards" and administrated morphine when it was not "clinically justified".
