    Vaccination for clinical

    Nevermind that a tuna sammich has more mercury and that a breast-fed baby gets more mercury in 6 months from the milk than vaccines. I've posted the study a couple different times-- one literally...

    How many care plans do you do?

    Ours are also 22 pages. They fill up quickly. Labs. Assessment of every system. Histories are various issues. A solid page just of meds.

    Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    We had a girl fall asleep during clinicals and all she got was a stern warning ("one more time and you're history") after being kicked out of the site for the

    Nursing student and overhead costs

    I'm also a non trad student with only one more year to go (woot!). I've been able to manage by working part time and my lovely wife is acting as bread winner these two years while I'm in school. We...

    Cry me a river...?

    This just seems like a weird topic (and judgmental, too). I know an EMT that worked a mva with a dead mom and three dead children-- two quite small. Among the carnage was an ejection and...

    Latest on RaDonda Vaught case

    I asked her the same thing. Two semesters of A&P, two semesters of pharmacology, semesters of med-surge and advanced med surge, at least, for her to get a BSN and somehow RV didn't know that a...

    Latest on RaDonda Vaught case

    You can't be serious. Anybody that has finished one semester of A & P would know you can't breath with a paralyzed diaphragm. I'm an RN student and will be in my 2nd pharmacology class soon...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    As they say in Corrections-- she is a NORP-- "normal ordinary responsible person" (except for caring for patients). She has no priors and will have legions of character witnesses. I doubt she'll...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    This COMPLETELY FICTIONAL ACCOUNT attempts to explain why the BON didn't even recommend education for the nurse in question. INTERIOR: SOFTLY LIT OAK-PANELED OFFICE IN THE TENNESSEE DEPT. OF HEALTH....

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    I have. When I first heard about this it was a simple news article that presented it as a standard med-error. So I vote "no." Then, after reading the CMS I was like-- "***. . . this nurse was a...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Intent is the key word and no intent to harm somebody is required for negligent homicide. If you read the report you can see that she admits to making conscious choices to disregard standard, common...

    Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

    So you habitually push IV meds without looking at what the medicine actually is? Good to know. Can I ask what hospital you work at so I can crawl to the next county on a gravel road, if need be, to...

    Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

    She fits the statute in a textbook fashion when she made a choice to ignore all safety norms. I'm not sure why you don't understand that she made a choice to just type in two letters and push the...

    Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

    I'll give you the statute again. Can you cite where intent to kill is required? She choose to type in two letters and push the first thing that popped up. That was a choice. She didn't mistake a...

    Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

    Actually, she clearly meets the statute. Typing the first two letters of something into the Pyxs and literally pushing the first thing that opens up (she had to choose to do that) without reading the...

    I did this so in trouble

    Boss was right to take you to the wood shed. I wonder if the other nurse really "wanted to extend her hours." Good chance see simply couldn't leave because she couldn't abandon her patients and you...

    Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

    Oh, I know. Our professors have done an excellent job of scaring the s*%t out of us by assigning some case studies and such. Last semester during a sim we had to pull meds from a Pyxs. They were...
