New Hampshire Nursing Assistant Sentenced to Jail for Drug Theft
Licensed nursing assistant Melissa Dunham, 32, received 45 days in jail for stealing drugs from a nursing home resident at Courville at Manchester nursing home in Manchester, New Hampshire. Dunham pled guilty to stealing a narcotic patch from an 86 year old resident and keeping it for her own personal use. Of note, the narcotic patch is more powerful than morphine and is used to treat severe and chronic persistent pain. One can only imagine the pain the resident felt as a result of this theft.
