Ontario Nurse Who Abused 19 Long-Term Care Residents Has Agreed To Resign Permanently

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 18 May, 2016 12:44 PM
  • Ontario Nurse Who Abused 19 Long-Term Care Residents Has Agreed To Resign Permanently
LONDON, Ont. — Details of abuse suffered by 19 residents of a long-term care facility in London, Ont., have been made public.
 
But the Ontario College of Nurses isn't releasing the name of the facility where Susan Muzylowsky was employed between October 2008 and September 2014.
 
Muzylowsky was a registered practical nurse until she resigned in December 2015. Before a discipline committee at the college Monday, she admitted to abusing residents, some sexually, over an eight-month period.
 
During that time, Muzylowsky called residents pigs and whiners, touched or spanked six residents on the buttocks and frequently made derogatory comments in describing residents' genitalia.
 
The college says the publication ban surrounding the name of the facility was put in place to protect the abused residents' personal information.
 
Muzylowsky has signed an undertaking to resign from practice permanently.
 
On three occasions Muzylowsky rolled a 92-year-old woman over in a rough manner, causing the elderly woman pain. She also refused pain and Parkinson’s medication for other residents.
 
The college determined that, on one occasion, Muzylowsky said to a resident, "You haven't seen rough yet. I'll give you something to cry about. Quit being a sissy."
