A new report exposes gaps in nurse accountability

A new report exposes gaps in nurse accountability

You may recall the story of a Beltrami County inmate who died after medical staff ignored his pleas for help. That was back in 2018 and since, almost everyone involved in his care and confinement has been held accountable, except for the nurse who failed to check his vitals while he lay in anguish on his cell floor. ProPublica Reporter Emily Hopkins joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about her story published Monday that shows how the Minnesota Board of Nursing is falling short when it comes to nurse discipline.
