Decisions and hearings
- 8 April 2026 · Nursing and Midwifery Council · review hearingStruck off the register
The NMC found that Ruffa Hernandez, a registered nurse, did not meet the standards of knowledge, skill and judgment expected of a Band 5 nurse. Between August 2022 and June 2023 she made multiple medication and care errors, including incorrect insulin doses, a missed pressure sore, poor handovers, and an inaccurate insulin administration record. She was suspended for 12 months in April 2025. At today's review she had not engaged with the NMC or shown any improvement, so the panel decided to strike her name off the register.
