Meanwhile the Washington State Nurses Association has posted a statement.

“Nurses must be able to chart truthfully and accurately for the sake of safe patient care,” the WSNA writes. “Their notes in a patient’s chart should never be weaponized against nurses as they were here [at PeaceHealth Southwest]. It is our sincere hope that law enforcement is able to identify the responsible individual and take all steps needed to secure the safety of the nurses they threatened.”
