Nurse told dying patient to 'hurry up and do us all a favour'

A Nursing and Midwifery Council hearing found 12 charges proven against June Parry, including claims of rough handling and verbal abuse of patients and intimidation of colleagues. Five further charges were not proven.
She was removed from the nursing register for five years after the disciplinary panel ruled that she "put patients at unwarranted risk of harm".
The charges relate to periods between 2005 and 2010 when Mrs Parry was working in Wales - first at Bronglais Hospital in Ceredigion and then at Hafan y Waun in Waunfawr, Gwynedd.
The NMC panel heard that Mrs Parry quit her job at the hospital after allegations that she had made inappropriate comments about patients.
Among the allegations was a claim that Mrs Parry said she would put a pillow over a patient's face and wrap a cord around another patient's neck.
She was also accused of lifting patients in an inappropriate manner and failing to carry out certain duties.
