A New Jersey nurse renounced the Nightingale Pledge last month when she allegedly pepper-sprayed a helpless elderly dementia patient, police said. Licensed practical nurse Lisa Erikson, 58, called Manchester Township Police the night of March 19, alleging a 87-year-old patient at Whiting Gardens Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Whiting was destroying property within the care facility, after growing agitated with staff. Officers rolled up to the home, and Erikson explained she had to use pepper spray on the dementia patient — who was also being treated for depression and anxiety — to de-escalate the situation, according to a statement from Manchester Township police.
