NY. nurse who took photo of unconscious patient's penis surrenders license

[Liberal_in_LA]

An upstate New York nurse surrendered her license after she was convicted of taking a photo of an unconscious patient's penis with her iPhone, authorities said.

Kristen Johnson, 27, of Fulton, "did not contest the charge of moral unfitness in the practice," the state Board of Regents announced.



Johnson pleaded guilty in November to disseminating of unlawful surveillance photos, a misdemeanor.

She took photos of patients in 2014 while working at Upstate University Hospital.

The Onondaga County District Attorney's Office began investigating after Johnson's co-workers complained that she captured images of two patients and sent them via text message, authorities said when she was arrested in May of 2015.
