NORTH PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - A former nurse from Our Lady of Fatima Hospital accused of patient neglect is free on bail.
Helen Thompson pleaded not guilty at her arraignment in Superior Court Wednesday.
She is accused of failing to provide proper care to a diabetic patient earlier this year. Jean Bousquet, 64, was at Fatima seeking treatment for depression, according to her family, when she died from low blood sugar.
Judge William Carnes released Thompson on $10,000 personal recognizance. Her next court date is scheduled for Feb. 12, 2009.
