A fired hospital nurse who is suing her former employer under a state whistleblower law has waived the right to file other claims, a state appellate court has ruled.

A unanimous panel of the Appellate Division, Second Department, concluded on Oct. 3 that since she claims Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern violated the state Health Care Employee Whistleblower Act, Blayne Minogue cannot sue for intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent hiring and supervision and other issues.
