2. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

   NefforamaRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   This was not just a medication error. She was reckless, she was arrogant, she completely ignored the ethical standard of do no harm. I defintely believe Vanderbilt should be held accountable for their lack of appropriate policies. And I definitely...

   How did it go? I’ve been interested in the NFP program in my area for a few years but haven’t had many opportunities to apply. It seems like a nursing dream to me too.... Education, care, empowering moms.... autonomy... when you have a chance, share ...
