I'm not even sure I have words for this woman. I absolutely believe she is guilty and it's hard for me to not think that maybe the same things she subjected these children to should be her means of death, but I guess rotting away in a prison will have to do. I don't believe in coincidences and the things that took place around this woman are simply astonishing. I admire the nurses who tried so hard to bring it to the attention of others and I sure wish someone would have listened to those with concerns before it reached the point of losing the lives of so many children. I understand that even in the 80's workplace gossip and drama were a thing, but we aren't talking about people just disliking someone for the sake of disliking them. We are talking about a pattern of behavior and the suspicion that something was being done to cause children to seize, go into cardiac or respiratory arrest, bleed profusely and, unfortunately, even die. FOLLOW UP ON IT. I appreciated the way the facts were presented in this book and how people from both sides were interviewed.

 This book is about nurse Genene Jones, who murdered over thirty children. I learned about her from a program about killer nurses, and I ordered this book right away. This book has the entire story from the second she was hired as a nurse, to the second the gavel smashed down on her fate. It was very interesting. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in nurses like this.
