She faced accusations of showing up to work drunk, and at one point was found passed out in the facility's basement during the night shift.
Wettlaufer was suspended four times for "medication-related errors", then was finally fired in March 2014 over a "serious" incident in which she gave the wrong medication to a patient.
She was hired by the Meadow Park Care Center in London, but lost this job after checking herself into a drug rehab facility in Niagara.
[9] The first case in which Wettlaufer injected a patient with enough insulin to directly cause death was on August 11, 2007, when she murdered James Silcox (84), a World War II veteran and father of six.
She left employment at Caressant Care in 2014, but in part-time work at other facilities and at patients' homes, she injected three more people with insulin: Wettlaufer entered an inpatient drug rehabilitation program at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto, on September 16, 2016.
[12] In March 2018, she was transferred from Grand Valley to an unspecified secure facility in Montreal to receive medical treatment.
[13] Yasir Naqvi, the Attorney General of Ontario, and Eric Hoskins, the province's Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, jointly announced on the day of Wettlaufer's sentencing that the provincial government would commission a public inquiry into her case.
[16] The Public Inquiry into the Safety and Security of Residents in the Long-Term Care Homes System was formally established by the provincial government on August 1, 2017.
[21] Even though she had already been found guilty in a criminal trial and voluntarily surrendered her nursing license, the formal hearing was required by CNO to officially bar her from the profession.
[22] Wettlaufer declined to participate in the hearing and was found guilty based on court documents from her criminal trial as well as her previous confession.
