flag An Irish nurse admitted misconduct for posting photos during an organ surgery, violating patient privacy.

flag A nurse in Ireland admitted to professional misconduct for taking and posting a photo during an organ retrieval surgery in May 2023, violating patient privacy and ethical standards. flag The image, taken without clinical justification, was shared on social media and later removed within nine hours. flag The nurse also posted a selfie in hospital scrubs, both actions breaching the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland’s code. flag Though the posts had minimal reach and were shared only with close friends, the patient’s family expressed distress. flag The nurse, who has eight years of service and was pregnant at the time, apologized, citing emotional response to the team’s compassion and personal stress. flag She received a final written warning and mandatory training, while the case prompted renewed focus on restricting phones in clinical areas and improving social media policies.
