    Imagine you give this "trigger warning", but the offendee is timid and too embarrassed to run away before being offended??? Maybe they have no place to go. Maybe they can't run fast enough. They...

    mtmkjr replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    No don't go away! Juan, I just want to say you are one of the most reasonable voices in this discussion and your posts have actually influenced my point of view several times. It was so odd to me that...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    mtmkjr replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It couldn't have been "any of us" because this was not a simple med error. It was error upon error upon error... and so on (x8) leading to death of the patient. If any one of those "errors" had been...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    mtmkjr replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    If that is the case, perhaps they could make their position a little more clear by doing a multi-location protest: FIRST: Protest the BON and fact that it's been over a year and it appears she still...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    mtmkjr replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Which is my point exactly. Even though the family has stated they do not intend to press charges, and that they've forgiven her, it doesn't mean they won't change their minds. And even if they don't...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    mtmkjr replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Not only that, but there's a grieving family to think about. The family has declined to pursue civil charges, and have stated they've forgiven her. While I think those who want to support her have...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    mtmkjr replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I have observed over the years nurses who take pride in being super-confident and efficient at the expense of safety. That appears to be the message the orientee was getting here. That can be very...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    mtmkjr replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You don't think so? I don't think the provider had a say in how nursing actions were documented...(I don't disagree that they would try to protect the nurse if they could) I could be wrong, but I...

    While I generally do not oppose the criminal charges (like @Nurse Beth I have moments where two opposing thoughts are sitting in my head) it is a little unsettling to think that if this does go to...
