Last of Three Fired Nurses Reinstated

Sharon Thompson, Lavita Fisher and Cheryl Miller were fired after the death of a patient who wasn't given CPR immediately after being found hanging from a sheet in her room.
Fisher won an appeal of her firing and returned to work in March while Miller returned for orientation Wednesday and now Thompson begins orientation Thursday.
The three were fired following the death of Brenda Shelton. Investigators say chest compressions didn't begin until more than a minute after Shelton was found hanging, and rescue breathing didn't start for four minutes.
Written decisions on why the three nurses won their appeals were not immediately available and the nurses or their lawyer were not available for comment.
