Connie Sneed, 54, pleaded guilty to intentionally acting as a P.A. without a license. She received a suspended sentence of 540 days, which means she won't serve jail time if she stays out of trouble. Nurse who removed COVID patient's oxygen pleads guilty:
at a poorly staffed nursing home has pleaded guilty to a felony, but will receive no jail time.
In the post, Sneed said she asked the patient if he wanted her to remove his oxygen mask so he could "fly with the angels." She described it as "the hardest thing I've ever done in 28 years." In an interview with state health inspectors a few days after Godfrey's death, Sneed confirmed that she had removed the resident's oxygen. She said that she'd had a "terrible" week and was caring for more than 40 COVID-19 patients at the facility when she forgot to notify the resident's physician of his decline.
The nursing home was among the facilities hit particularly hard by the virus. At least 80 residents contracted the coronavirus and 22 died, according to state health data. The 124-bed facility is owned by Columbus Regional Hospital and operated by CommuniCare.
