A nurse who spent more than six weeks in custody accused of contaminating saline said she had been "living in hell".
The case against Rebecca Leighton was dropped by prosecutors, who said on Friday it was "no longer appropriate" to continue the proceedings".
Leighton, 27, was arrested at her home on July 20 over a string of suspicious deaths at a hospital in Stockport, near Manchester.
After her release from jail, Leighton said her life had been turned upside down.
"I have been living in hell and was locked up in prison for something I had not done," Leighton's solicitor Carl Richmond said on her behalf after her release.
"It was so frustrating for me knowing that the person who actually carried out these terrible acts is still out there.
