The nurse from from Pontybodkin, Wales, was sentenced to two five-year sentences to run concurrently.
Earlier, the former nurse was acquitted of the attempted murders of James Byrne, 76, and Reuben Thompson, 81.
She had denied the allegations.
Salisbury said she may have told Byrne "it is OK to go now" but only to soothe the dying man.
