A NURSE who stole medication prescribed to a recently deceased resident at a care home she worked at has been spared jail. Jodie Smith, from Rainford, took a prescription of Lorazepam, which is used to treat anxiety and sleeping problems, as she was ‘struggling to cope’ with the pressures of working during the coronavirus pandemic. She was caught with the class C drug after being spotted driving ‘erratically’ by swerving in the road and mounting the kerb. The reason for this was drinking a bottle of wine after finishing her shift working at The Old Vicarage Care Home in Burtonwood.
