Nurse Sentenced For Rape Of Disabled Girl

February 19, 2005: Washington State: Nurse Sentenced For Rape Of Disabled Girl:"An eight-and-a-half-year sentence for a registered nurse who raped his disabled patient. The 12-year-old victim is mute and a quadriplegic who needs around the clock attention. Her family hired Raymond Hughes to care for her, but back in April, her mother found evidence of the rape."

Not exactly an example of Nursing in it's finest moment. One has to wonder if this person had a past criminal record and if this could have been avoided.

I was surprised to learn that most state boards of nursing rely on "voluntary" reporting of criminal history when renewing licenses. Like that's really going to happen.
