A nurse who made inappropriate and sexualised comments and sent follow-up text messages to a young female patient attending Beaumont Hospital in Dublin has been found guilty of professional misconduct.
The nurse, Mark Lester Ordonez, admitted to a fitness-to-practise inquiry of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) that he had “crossed the line” in his interactions with the 18-year-old girl when she attended the hospital on June 21, 2023, for an endoscopy procedure.
