Investigators were Thursday continuing their probe into the alleged poisoning of a nurse while on duty at the New Amsterdam Hospital, according to police sources.

Still hospitalized is Nurse Tameka Carter.

Crime sleuths have already taken away the remaining amount of a soda that the nurse consumed and caused her to vomit blood.

Sources said all the persons, who worked the 12 noon to 7 PM shift, would be questioned by police on Thursday.
