Bridgette Berkeley takes care of a patient in the ICU at Ogden Regional Medical Center recently. She graduated in July and says she knows she’s lucky to have gotten a job in her field so quickly. One thing that helped was that hospital officials knew her work ethic, as she worked as a secretary and a nursing assistant at the hospital while in school. (NICHOLAS DRANEY/Standard-Examiner)

Patient dies after nursing mistake amid labor dispute

Jeanine Benca, Sean Maher The Oakland Tribune

Last updated Monday, September 26, 2011 - 9:39am

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The 66-year-old woman who died at a hospital after receiving care from a temporary replacement nurse was identified by the coroner's office Sunday as Oakland resident Judith Ming.

Ming's death reverberated both inside Alta Bates Summit Medical Center and out Sunday. Nursing union leaders painted her as the victim of a staff lockout that prompted the hospital to cut corners by hiring replacement nurses who weren't up to par. Hospital administrators, on the other hand, said the death was an "extraordinarily rare" but extremely serious tragedy, promising cooperation with multiple investigations and asking that the death not be used for political means in the two parties' ongoing contract battle.
