[Not sure I’m on board with this part. Depose as witnesses maybe, but sue? Not unless maybe they falsified evidence or something.]
Unfortunatley this a typical tactic of the scum lawyers. Sue everyone and see what happens. The nurses and doctors will likely be released from the suit by the court AFTER they run up huge legal bills with no chance of recovering any of their losses or their good names.
If the emergency room nurse were not qualified by education or experience to perform the test and express an opinion, her actions could be found to be tortuous. If her supervisor and employer knew of her lack of qualification and allowed her to conduct the test and render a professional opinion nonetheless, they could be found to have ratified her tort or to have committed an independent one.

You obviously have not been following the case very carefully, have you. The “nurse” who first treated the “victim” repeatedly changed her story about what Mangum said every time Nifong changed his story. The nurse deserves to be charged.

It seems you haven’t been following the case. The SANE nurse was an essential enabler for the hoax. She practically falsified the results and changed them as Nifong created new story line. Her comments and “analysis” were totally unacceptable. Her job was to collect evidence (e.g. DNA). Instead, she wrote some feminist crap how rape is about power and she never faced a woman who lied about rape -> so the victim must have been raped. It was not her job to provide this analysis. She broke the rules in many ways and enabled Nifong to along.
She clearly should lose her license and go to jail for her part.
