  1. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Holy Geezus. Can't come soon enough, IMO. Legal consequences, that

  2. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Possible settlement from this case? Nashville has a report that shows cases and settlements. Unfortunately, unless you have access to their version of LexusNexus, you cannot see the case filing. It's...

  3. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Jory, I am not assuming anything. I read the CMS interview of the Risk Management Director (not an attorney) who said: "In the end, there were so many things the nurse did - the 5 rights, basic...

  4. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I guess we will never know, because if there is a confidentiality agreement, the family is effectively silenced from talking of anything they know or feel about the

  5. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think his Anon's point was that the family retained an attorney and the "rest is confidential". If you read the CMS report, there is a portion that is redacted. You have to read it carefully, I...

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Bingo.

  7. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely agreed 100%. It has to happen. I was reading up on "nurses who kill"--yes, they are serial killer psychopath types---but the fact still remains that these people were either shuttled off by...

  8. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Why would a nurse be exempt from the rules that society has put in place? What makes us special cases? Doctors have the AMA--and they are sanctioned all the time for their behavior, some losing...

  9. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Horseshoe, I appreciate the Libertarian in you, I really do. I, however, like the idea that if someone violates my rights---as in...comes walking around my property looking in my windows,...

  10. How to be a Perfect Nurse

    HomeBound replied to mtnNurse.'s topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. Perhaps I did mislead after re-reading my post. My intent was that I have no serious problems in my practice---my record is clean. I have never, ever been charged, written up, talked to or...

  11. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Which is why the law has sub-categories for things like this---we can, yet again, circle back to the distracted driver who swerves to miss a kitty cat and plows into a group of kids waiting for the...

  12. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You missed my point. My point is---that in this society, we have agreed upon certain rules. Rules, that if broken, for whatever reason (I really liked that house! I wanted to see it! I have the right...

  13. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Something interesting (to me, at least)---I was perusing an auction site for houses. One listing said, "Do not disturb tenants. It is a criminal offense to do so." It is a criminal offense. I will go...

  14. How to be a Perfect Nurse

    HomeBound replied to mtnNurse.'s topic in General Nursing

    RV I have made mistakes. Admitted to several in this thread with the negligent nurse. Titrating insulin drip down instead of leaving it alone. Reported myself. Pulled 2 of x drug instead of 1 or vice...

  15. Surviving an Interstate Move

    HomeBound replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Same here. PM if you need/want advice on PA, OH, NC, OR, CA, FL, MA, VA I've lived in many places as an RN and with my former profession in healthcare, family scattered all over as well. Just finished...

  16. How to be a Perfect Nurse

    HomeBound replied to mtnNurse.'s topic in General Nursing

    BTW, What you are describing is called "Situational Truth". "In that moment, I believed this particular thing to be true." That's not how I want my nurse to behave. Nor anyone that would lay a single...

  17. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think Wuzzie mistakenly typed Versed. I believe, the way I read it...is that if this was actually versed, how RV thought it was....she "slammed 2mg of versed and walked away". That is...

  18. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Several points I was trying to make. 1. Delegation. It's your friend. If you feel overwhelmed, ask for help. 2. No matter the situation, alarms, yelling, stress, fighting patient, etc....there are...

    10 hours ago by Jerry Hamm -2 Likes; 16 Visitors; 3 Posts Please everyone understand that we are not "standing up" for or "rallying" to support the nurse's alleged error. If we make errors, we are...

  20. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I am not aware of anybody who does, unless you are on company time outside of the place where you are working, and you commit a crime or are injured in the commission of a crime. I was trying, gently,...

  21. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. She knew she had to perform the 5 rights. She knew she was supposed to check the order. She knew she was supposed to read the label. She knew she was supposed to monitor sedated patients...

  22. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    So if I commit a crime, like accidentally running over someone, at night on my way to get Cheetos at the 7-11, because I have bad night vision....I don't deserve to be charged with involuntary...

  23. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Did you read the verbiage in this petition? "allegedly"? There isn't any "allegedly" about it. SHE ADMITS IT. FCS....geezus

  24. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Night before last, I had a train wreck of a pt. Kidney transplant that had traveled, of all places, to Liberia and then to Costa Rica. Lovely places. Full of nice, humid, hot, delicious weather for...

  25. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I ❤️ this statement a million times. IT'S HONEST. "...the only reason I can come up with as to why I don't want her to face criminal trial is out of solidarity for the profession..." I can respect...
