A Kendall Baptist Hospital nursing assistant repeatedly struck a patient, state says
A West Kendall Baptist Hospital certified nursing assistant called a patient “disgusting” before cursing at him and hitting him multiple times, a state complaint said.
The Florida Department of Health administrative complaint was filed against Miami Gardens’ Dawn Brown, a 52-year-old whose online department profile shows no previous discipline problems since becoming licensed on March 29, 2007.
But, the complaint says, while working at West Kendall Baptist on Dec. 4, 2021, Brown told a 55-year-old patient, “You’re disgusting. I would prefer to clean dog ----.”
The complaint also says Brown “struck (the patient) several times.”
Brown chose not to argue the accusation. Thursday, the state Board of Nursing issued the final order accepting Brown’s voluntary surrender of her certified nursing assistant license.
