    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I love this 1000x. I think many have become too dependent on technology to do all the work for them, without giving the 2nd set of eyes to catch an error. With that kind of thinking, these things will...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Many nurses get a 2nd chance everyday. See the Recovery threads. In her own words her working conditions were excellent that day, she chose to be negligent. No one put words in your mouth. The...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all said, except from her own admission, she wasn't running around like a headless chicken through the hospital. Her unit wasnt understaffed. She was a resource person for her unit. No...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This case should teach you what happens when you willfully choose not to be vigilant. Nursing education should have taught you the things that you mention. If not, your education was substandard. That...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Again, a person making an error due to their own admitted negligence is separate from a hospital cover up. Observing basic safety would have stopped this. She wasn't distracted, had no patient group,...

    The ridiculousness of LTC/SNF

    Hoosier_RN replied to YUKONrn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In the LTCs that I worked in, and still occasionally work PRN, DON and ADON are the only 2 RNs in management positions, the rest are LPNs. The other few RNs employed are on the floor with LPNs working...

    Reasons nurses get fired

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nursing On The Run's topic in General Nursing

    The teaching moment may come after any potential suit or payout to family. I've seen immediate dismissal, and it rolled just like this. The dust has to settle before any open

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Any vial of vecuronium that I've ever seen has that warning on the cap. Someone posted a while back that it hadn't always been that way, but I've been around a long time, and I've not seen otherwise,...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    She was a resource person for her unit only, which was ICU. Per documents entered into evidence, she had given Versed before, on more than 1 occasion, in fact the shift prior. A totally different...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree that she should come back with a restricted, or any level of, license. Practitioners that harm or kill d/t either willful intent or by plain neglect should NEVER be allowed to practice...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    If we have 0 accountability, do you think it will be better? Tell me how you would fix the problem, since appropriate accountability doesn't seem to be on the menu of your answers Also, you keep...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently not what we were taught. But they are taught the 5 (now 7 or 8 or more) rights of med admin. But I've taught in the last 15 years. A few others on here have as well, so for that one poster...

    I want to see the quote where someone claims you are an idiot. Many of us just shaking our heads because you seem to refuse to see the big picture: accountability and the consequences that go with it....

    ? I started in the ICU as well, and always checked labels-pharmacy can mistakenly put wrong med in wrong place in Pyxis I'm still of the frame of mind that this lady's lack of...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    All of us paid a lot to go to nursing school. All of us learned safety and the 5 rights of med admin. Had she simply observed those 5 rights, this would never have happened, along with Pyxis warnings...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You're total defense of RV, despite being shown so many reasons to question her safety and ethics as a nurse, makes me concerned. Nursing school teaches and preaches safety. At 2 years, working as a...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    She wasn't a new grad. She was 2 years in, orienting someone. This frankly scares me. The fact that you keep defending her actions as if she was new, and couldn't have possibly known better, shouldn't...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Her actions, and the hospital's actions are 2 separate issues. By her own admission, she blew right by the 5 rights, the 5 rights that are basic nursing. I wouldn't want her caring for my worst enemy,...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The only reason that she was "ethical" and self reported was that another nurse caught it and told her that she was going to report it. RV admitted in her testimony that was the only reason that she...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    There are so many out there that believe that she's innocent of all wrongdoing, was done wrong by Vandy, etc, that they'd welcome her with open arms. I have no illusions about
