Criminal negligence charges should be used in cases where a potentially dangerous situation was known about, but left uncorrected resulting in injury or death. As the other poster said there are other methods to discipline those that had no intent to harm, but made a mistake. Revocation of professional license, civil lawsuits, etc.
Why should intent matter? A person could know about a dangerous situation, have no intent to harm, but could be lazy, careless, or just unqualified to do what they are doing. I don't care about their intent when multiple safeguards are missed. Part of punishment has and should be to discourage others to do the same, and in cases like this, encourage carefulness and diligence. Revoking a license is a slap on the wrist and does not send the same message.

Why should intent matter?
There's a stark difference between this nurse just botching it like she did vs her intentionally trying to kill the person by giving them that medicine.

So you feel an accident that results in a death and a person who commits an act with a sole intent is to kill carries the same weight?

Yeah a physician losing their livelihood is a slap on the wrist.
