The police department set up a dedicated phone line for anyone who believes they have been impacted by Hayes. 'Always treat everyone the same as you would want to be treated.' 'The biggest takeaway from the pandemic has been to never take your life for granted,' Hayes said in the article. Hayes had been in nursing for 21 years and worked during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the article. In her nomination, Misty Hayes said her husband would make sure patients had everything they needed and knew 'that they will be taken good care of,' the Winston-Salem Journal reported. Last year, Hayes' wife, Misty, nominated Johnathan Hayes as a nurse of distinction for the Celebrating Nurses of the Triad special section coordinated by the Winston-Salem Journal, News & Record and the N.C. Officials also analyzed safety protocols to ensure something like this doesn't happen again, Potter said. 'As soon as we identified a deviation from patient care as part of our established safety protocols, we took immediate action to remove the employee from the patient care environment and terminated his employment,' she said. When Atrium Health officials learned of these 'disturbing events, they reached out to the patients' families, said Denise Potter, vice president of marketing, communications and media. Hayes had worked at the hospital at various times over the past 15 years. Hayes, who had worked at the hospital at various times over the past 15 years, was fired March 18, Atrium Health spokesman Joe McCloskey said.

'From this day forward, he will be known as a defendant.' 'Johnathan Hayes has forfeited the honor of being called a nurse,' O'Neill said.

O'Neill, whose wife is a doctor at Atrium Health, stressed that Hayes' alleged actions don't reflect the care that the hospital provides. Evidence indicates Hayes acted alone, he said. It doesn't appear that Hayes knew the patients and there's no apparent motive, O'Neill said. Winston-Salem police took on the investigation and after consulting with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and Winston-Salem police, O'Neill said he found that police had probable cause to charge Hayes. O'Neill said he and detectives met in March with Atrium Health officials, who presented details of an investigation that appeared to show that Hayes had injected a lethal dose of insulin into a patient, causing that patient's death and possibly others. 22, Hayes gave another lethal dose of insulin to Vickie Lingerfelt, who died five days later, he said. 5, Hayes administered a lethal dose of insulin to patient Gwen Crawford, who died three days later, O'Neill said. The 47-year-old Winston-Salem man, described by O'Neill as a 'rogue nurse,' is accused of administering a near-fatal dose of insulin to Pamela Little on Dec.
