A 29-year-old nurse from Long Island, fired after a now-viral video showed her roughly picking up a newborn baby and slamming the boy face down into a bassinet , has been cleared by a state agency of misconduct. Amanda Burke was working in the NICU of Good Samaritan Hospital in Feb. 2023 when video taken by the baby's father through the nursery window captured the alleged acts. The child's parents showed the hospital and confronted the nurse, and spoke with NBC New York in February. "I told her 'I don't want you to touch my child you just slammed him,'" said Consuelo Saravia, the mother, "And she told me 'Oh no, if you think I mishandled him or anything, I'm sorry.
