A prison nurse is angry at being struck off from the profession for 'not showing kindness' after telling an offender to 'get up' when she felt he was feigning injury.
Julie Abram, 63, said she was also criticised for calling the 'young lad' a prisoner and not a patient following the drama at Hull prison and believes she was sacked because she refused to 'mollycoddle' the criminals.
Ecxcept she wasn't sacked - she jumped before she could be pushed:
She resigned after 22 years when told she faced disciplinary proceedings over the incident in 2021, when the prisoner tripped over a shoe in his cell on the sex offenders' wing in the category B jail.
She said she was stunned to learn this week that she had been banned from the nursing profession without her knowledge.
Probably wouldn't prevent her getting a job in your local hospital, where failing to show compassion is one of the Key Performance Indicators - if you're not a criminal, but just an ordinary taxpayer!
Its Fitness to Practise Committee was told she exhibited a 'discriminatory' attitude towards prisoners, which was a 'deep-seated attitudinal issue'.
Ms Abram said: 'It seems you have to tuck the prisoners up in bed these days.'

She sounds like the kind of down to Earth, no nonsense person that I would get along with. I suspect that, at 63, she is close enough to retirement that she doesn't have to put up with their shit. I had that freedom as I was approaching my retirement, the buggers knew that if they pissed me off too much I would just walk.
Stonyground.
I wonder if it was a case that her no nonsense approach meant that 'her face no longer fitted'?
The "patients" would have seen that she would get no support from her superiors and could easily arrange an incident which would get this inconvenient no-nonsense nurse out of the way. These inmates are not daft.
