Decision finding defendant hospital liable to one of its former nurses for sexual harassment by a physician in violation of Title VII and Florida law is reversed as defendant met its burden on its Faragher/Ellerth affirmative defense, and plaintiff failed to set forth a viable sexual harassment claim as a matter of law.
