Aged care nurse suspended over surprise baby shower weeks before COVID-19 outbreak killed 38 residents
The nurse only attended the event for five minutes before returning to work, but a tribunal ruled he should have broken up the party.
A nurse who attended a surprise baby shower thrown for him at an aged care facility during a COVID-19 lockdown has been suspended for a month for failing to break up the party before he left.
Denis Baniqued was unaware that staff at the Epping Gardens Aged Care Facility had arranged the celebration for him and his wife, a celebration that took place on 16 July 2020 in the early days of Victoria’s lockdowns.
