    Need Support From My Fellow Nurses

    mtmkjr replied to Nurse Lizzy's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. I stayed out 20+years. Came back as a nurse refresher and 5 years later I'm a nursing supervisor in a large well-respected hospital system. I will agree with you on rehab, although that...

    Anesthesiologist Group Says Hospitals Can Prevent Fatal Errors Like Vanderbilt's

    mtmkjr replied to sirI's topic in General Nursing

    I was always sympathetic to the fact that Radonda overrode the Pyxis warning. THAT I can relate to, and agree 100% with Emergent on THAT being a huge problem. If only that had been the only...

    Anesthesiologist Group Says Hospitals Can Prevent Fatal Errors Like Vanderbilt's

    mtmkjr replied to sirI's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not very confident that hard plastic obtrusive packaging have gotten her attention if she already was disregarding the red warning cap and attention to the fact that Versed does not come in powder...

    RaDonda Vaught - What is she doing now?

    mtmkjr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. And by the way she did have another nurse with her. Granted he was an orientee but he made a statement that he didn't need any step by step on administering Versed since he had already...

    Arguing Over a Patient Assignment

    mtmkjr replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    One thing I have not understood from your first post is why she is not getting the care she needs on the other

    Would you pass the 1920 NCLEX?

    I'm trying to wrap my head around this... What does it even

    Refusing to Cover for a Colleague

    mtmkjr replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my - I resemble that remark -thanks for giving me some useful terminology, as this is often how I feel about certain aspects of my job! Silverbells your position is probably similar to mine,...

    Another Fail by TN BON

    mtmkjr replied to Anonymous865's topic in General Nursing

    There does seem to be a pattern. I wonder what it would take for TBON to initiate suspension/revoking rather than acting only after these things come to light. These are two very public...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    mtmkjr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, agree. Not sure why nurses should be immune when reckless actions result in someone's death. Another example:...

    I believe it was her second and when asked if she was fatigued, she said

    Yes, that's been my underlying thought as

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    mtmkjr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Question... Would Radonda have admitted giving vecuronium if it hadn't been seen and pointed out by the other

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    mtmkjr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I would be interested to know what ISMP would consider reckless behavior if not blindly injecting whatever she was holding in her

    What orders from providers have made you laugh the most?

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    mtmkjr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I would love for you to tell me what the facts of the case are as you know them. All of them. Because my hunch is that you are missing something

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    mtmkjr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Based on what I've been seeing on social media I suppose there is some truth to the concern about reduced reporting. Sadly I say. But that doesn't mean she should not have been charged....

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    mtmkjr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    There is a lot of misinformation out there. I invite you to read the facts of the case given in the CMS report

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    mtmkjr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    The whole article left me with the impression that some people see nurses as teenagers with undeveloped frontal lobes, lacking good judgement and functioning on impulse That is the entire...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    mtmkjr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. This is what has raised my hackles. In the classic sense, at least in the way I understand it, the scapegoat is an innocent party. Or at least completely undeserving of the punishment given...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    mtmkjr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I'm totally with you on Vanderbilt. It is not right at all that there wouldn't be serious consequences for their cover up. I'm surprised the actual syringe with unwasted waste and the vial were...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    mtmkjr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    A couple of thoughts as I read your post... She was not floating to the unit, this was her unit. In fact, she was precepting that day, so the expectation would be that she was aware of how things...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    mtmkjr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    And I must say, all the comments declaring this a dangerous precedent, that she would be criminally responsible is disheartening to me. Can my fellow nurses not see the line between the most serious...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    mtmkjr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    One thing that boggles my mind is that she blew past all of the safety checks with an orientee at her side, watching her completely disregard every single checkpoint that had been drilled into him in...
