The hospital that hires the nurse should be responsible for the nurse. Period. Under all circumstances.

The hospital has far too many incentives to play fast and loose and then leave the nurses in the lurch with a system stacked against them. The hospital has far too many incentives to skimp on training and safety. etc.

Should this nurse also have her license looked into? Yeah, it looks like it. And is it up to the hospital to fire her or not? Yes.

However, barring actual proof of premeditation, all charges and fines should land on the hospital--not the nurse.
