Let us call a spade what it is: she made bad judgment. I'm not a nurse but I dont't think nurses were taught to pray first before administering the right medication, or notifying authority for emergency. I also think it is part of the medical psychology/studies to avoid being overcome by emotions in case of emergency. She could have saved herself the headache by just calling in the doctors, other nurses, DNR team and EMS.
Poster more information is needed: was she alone in the hospital, was she a personal nurse to the patiant, did she hit the panic button to alert the doctors etc?
It is unfornate it happened to her, the authorities would revisit her case with time. But now, they have to take such extreme measure to calm down some anger.
This is more information, hope it will help out.Omolayo Abayomi cried 'Jesus help him' 20 times before the child’s mother told her to ‘shut up’
Nurse told hearing her behaviour was 'no more than a bad day at the office'

Divine intervention: Nurse Omolayo Abayomi asked Jesus for help as a baby in her care suffered a heart attack
A nurse who threw her hands into the air and begged for Jesus to help as a baby suffered a heart attack has been thrown out of the profession.
Omolayo Abayomi 'panicked' when the child, who suffered from a chronic lung disease, turned blue and stopped breathing in his cot at home.
The 51-year-old called for divine intervention more than 20 times before the vulnerable boy's mother told her to 'shut up'.
'The nurse was constantly saying "Jesus help him" and waving her arms around,' a hearing was told.
The nurse 'provided wholly inadequate care' by leaving the frantic mother to resuscitate her lifeless son, while the father dialled 999.
Abayomi was found guilty of a string of charges by the Nursing and Midwifery Council at a hearing in central London.
Sydney Topping, for Abayomi, insisted his client's behaviour had represented no more than a 'bad day at the office' and urged the panel to let her off with a caution.
'Once in a while you have a bad day at the office,' he said.
'I would suggest that on April 8 the registrant had a bad day at the office. It was no worse than that. She has bounced back since then.'
The hearing heard that the child, referred to a Patient A, and his twin sister were born three months premature at Homerton University Hospital in Hackney, east London, and as a result suffered from a number of serious illnesses and so required round-the-clock care.
Joanna Dirmikis, for the NMC, said Abayomi had been employed by private nursing firm Paediatric Nursing Link to look after the infant, who required 22 hours of nursing care every day.
The parents were woken by a knock on their bedroom door at 5am on April 8, 2007, to find their son lying lifeless after suffering respiratory cardiac arrest, the panel was told.
