ISTANBUL
An investigation has been launched into a Turkish nurse for keeping her family in a dorm room for 13 years in Istanbul.
The nurse, who remains anonymous, has reportedly ensured her family lived in a dormitory at the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine since 2004, Sabah newspaper reported on Nov. 21.
While accommodation facilities offered to single female nurses by the hospital, the nurse, who was the former head of accommodation, reserved the area for her mother, her brother, his wife and their three children.
Moreover, it was revealed that her relatives raised fowls outside a remote part of the building’s garden.
Upon revelation of the incident, the Istanbul University Rectorate filed a complaint against the nurse to the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office.
“She was appointed as the chief of accommodation when she was staying at the accommodation for Istanbul Medical Faculty nurses. She abused her duty and caused harm to the public,” the complaint reportedly read.
