Everett Nursing Assistant Suspended For Patient Abuse And Sexual Misconduct

An Everett nursing assistant has been suspended from practice based on allegations of sexual misconduct and patient abuse in two separate workplaces. The license for Paul Barton, certified nursing assistant, was immediately suspended by the Washington State Department of Health.

Barton allegedly made sexual comments to one patient in a health care facility. During the facility's investigation of this conduct, Barton quit and was hired by another health care facility in Everett; there he made sexual comments and sexually touched another patient.

Barton cannot practice or be employed as a certified nursing assistant until the charges are resolved. He can respond to the charges and request a hearing within 20 days.Read more at access.wa.gov.
