Nurse accused of falling asleep on duty and swearing

A nurse accused of falling asleep on duty at an Arbroath care home and swearing in front of residents will face a list of allegations when she attends a Nursing and Midwifery Council hearing later this month.

Susan Skinner, who worked as a nurse at the Balhousie Antiquary Care Home from July to September 2013, is also accused of shouting “within the earshot” of residents, behaving in an “inappropriate manner in public areas of the care home” and failing to highlight to the Nursing Guild Agency that she had been employed by the Balhousie Care group for two months.

Skinner will face a list of six allegations on May 26 when she attends the hearing in Edinburgh.
