Just wondering - how many have been named defendant in lawsuit in which you had to pay personally for being the RN w/bad outcome even if bad outcome was not due to bad nursing. I work L&D and am really worried about a particular case. Thanks!
Nitro..given PO (mistake number one) times 3 on day one, times 2 on day two and times 3 on day three..why?? for lower abdominal pain?? results.."no relief" now isn't that suprising? Actually result is BP bottomed out, there was a fall and then there was a death..unfortunately indefensible. The drop in BP could have occurred anyways but we don't know that and since the med causes low BP AND it was not given correctly nor for the correct reason, this nurse is toast..

Just for education purposes, what med are you talking about, and what was it given for or not given properly for?
