Wettlaufer got fired from the Geraldton District Hospital in 1995 after she was caught high on drugs that she admitted stealing on the overnight shift. The next two decades saw Wettlaufer disciplined multiple times for a litany of medication errors, conflicts with co-workers, poor treatment of nursing home residents and generally shoddy work.

She confessed in September 2016 to killing eight people in her care by injecting them with overdoses of insulin.

Wettlaufer, 50, was fired in March 2014 from the Caressant Care nursing home in Woodstock, Ont., where she killed seven of her eight victims. The home notified the College of Nurses of the firing. But the college, responsible for keeping the public safe from bad nurses, didn’t investigate Wettlaufer, leaving her with a spotless public record.
