Two nursing home patients died from fatal doses of insulin and another was left hospitalised after complaints were made about a registered nurse, police allege.

Marie Darragh, 82, and Isobella Spencer 77, died at their Ballina nursing home in northern NSW in May.

They were found unconscious in their beds and died a short time later.

Police allege a 46-year-old nurse from the St Andrews Village Aged Cared facility administered Ms Darragh and Ms Spencer fatal doses of insulin in the middle of the night.

Another aged care resident, an 88-year-old, was also assaulted.
