   This wasn't a drug error. This was a series of incompetent actions by an incompetent nurse that resulted in a patient suffocating to death.

   Do you look at the medication vial prior to drawing it up and slamming into a patient?

   Have you read the TBI report? Only an egregiously incompetent and careless nurse could possibly have done what she did.

   My patient doesn't want to work with me at all and it's hurtful

   Wuzzie replied to dsaprog's topic in General Nursing

   "I didn't see the active order when I looked and I had only a few minutes in my shift. I just left it at that and gave report to AM shift." This is where you went wrong. The fact that you only had a few minutes left in your shift was irre...

   Asking for my job back?

   Wuzzie replied to Sweetpea04's topic in General Nursing

   You, my friend, have done what I call "screwed the pooch". If you want to continue to be employed I would counsel you to put your head down, close your mouth, prove yourself a reliable employee and work your current job for a year while figuring o...

   In wake of RaDonda Vaught trial, KY passes bill to decriminalize medical errors

   Wuzzie replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   At least there's a provision that covers negligence. Let's hope the Kentucky BON actually does its jobs if a situation like the one the Tennessee BON so horribly bungled ever comes up.

    Wuzzie replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    Wuzzie replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to point out that this was posted 9 years. ago and the OP hasn't been on the site since 2021. Scolding her is probably pointless.

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Except according to the TBI investigation the ADS system did, in fact, give warnings. Multiple ones. Electronic and on the actual cubby she pulled the Vec from. The vial even had a warning on it. Earlier discussions suggested "alarm fatigue" or too m...

    Paramedics Criminally Charged/Convicted

    Wuzzie replied to emtpbill's topic in General Nursing

    I don't at the moment but I have extensive ED experience as an RN and try to keep my knowledge base up to date. Chemical restraint must be a regional thing. It's not common here. I verified this with a friend who is our current fire chief.
