The nursing ethics board that oversees the licensure of Oregon nurses has decided to take no action against the infamous nurse Camesha Hart, of Beaverton Oregon, who sent messages to Jews calling them “vermin” and “dogs” and saying she doesn’t treat animals.

In fact, they allowed her to renew her RN license for another two years, we found out last week. 

Camesha Lynn Hart — a nurse of 22 years in Beaverton Oregon — found herself in an imbroglio of antisemitic proportions when she popped off a number of anti-Jew comments earlier this year in February and March 2025 on her Instagram page.

Camesha Hart wished that Jewish people “Meet their ancestors soon.” Meanwhile in response to a Jewish woman, Hart wrote “I would refuse to treat you. I don’t take care of animals. Dogs. Rats. Vermin of any kind.”

“I would refuse to treat you. I’m not a vet. I don’t treat dogs.” 

She also justified the murder of the Bibas family, writing: “Shiri Bibas was fair game to be killed as military personnel” and that the surviving Bibas family should “be thankful that they weren’t returned in blue body bags and zip ties.”

The fallout was instant.

But she hasn’t lost her ability to practice, and it seems like she might never. 

PHYSICIANS AGAINST ANTISEMITISM: The Watchdog Group

The group Physicians Against Antisemitism (PAA) publicized Hart’s missives against Jews on Instagram and their community of 25K followers reacted with shock and dismay. 

Later, the nonprofit Stop Antisemitism also posted a call-to-action to their 330K followers, asking people to express their concern about Hart to the university hospital’s human resources department.

HER LICENSE TO PRACTICE NURSING

While Camesha Hart was dropped by her employer, she still has an active LinkedIn page where she notes that she’s open to work. She’s also been reminiscing about her time as a nurse, writing blog posts about nursing issues such as “bedside manner” and compassion.

Hart has also been using burner accounts on Instagram to show her support for Palestinians and Gazans, but seems to have backed away from talking about Jews and Zionists for the moment.

Oddly, despite the fact after I broke the news about her, Ms. Hart has not said one positive thing about Jews, recanted her former statements or apologized in any public way for the comments that rocked her former employer and the town of Beaverton, Oregon. 

COMPLICIT SILENCE AND THE OREGON STATE NURSING BOARD

While her nursing license was due to expire or lapse on November 11th, according to the Oregon State Board of Nursing, her status is now listed as “UNENCUMBERED” which “means that the nurse has a full and unrestricted license to practice by the state board of nursing.” 

Still.

With this renewal, she will be able to practice as an RN for another 2 years. 

After calling Jews vermin and dogs, saying she doesn’t treat “animals”, saying that Israel should be happy that the Bibas kids weren’t returned in “blue body bags” and blaming Shiri Bibas for the deaths of her own children…. 

Somehow today, that’s not enough to lose your license to practice.

We reached out to Camesha Hart for an opportunity for her to tell her side of the story, apologize, or explain her actions against Jews, but after two weeks, she has not responded back to any of our inquiries.

The Oregon Board of Nursing has avoided inquiries as to why Camesha Hart’s conduct did not necessitate a removal, a fine, a punishment, or any of the other common “corrections” that unscrupulous nurses often face.

Unfortunately, this is not uncommon.

Many avowed Jewish haters in academia and business have been ousted in the past two years, but within the healthcare world, it seems that the Hippocratic Oath and the Florence Nightingale Pledge (the nurse’s version of the doctor’s oath), as well as the state licensure boards, do not care about antisemitism among medical workers.

In fact, it is unclear if the Oregon State Board of Nursing even investigated Hart at all. Should I FOIA them?
