Jkl33 I reread your post several times and do agree with most and appreciate your thoughtful response. Have a nice evening and hope to see you at the March on Washington.

I appreciate your opinion and do not agree with most if it. Thanks

I have read the postings through and noted a disturbing pattern that if anyone so much as gives an inkling that any agent (s) other than RV are at fault or have acted in an irresponsible way they are shut down with vigor dismissing comments as “that’s for later” or “that is a separate issue”. They have just attacked the person demanding evidence or a satisfactory response to how could they possibly know or feel a certain way. Meanwhile posters have personally attacked RV reporting paraphrasing here, not the right temperament, did you see her go fund me account?, she is unable to focus and many more. Some have even suggested that RV is posting and reading the posts. I am not surprised at the postings and so sorry for her if she reading and posting. Kindness and forgiveness for RV is that for ourselves also. I am wondering the opposite if there are agent (s) for the hospital, TBON etc posting here, it would be very easy to do. I have been off FB for years but created an account to hear others opinions since in my opinion the three or so threads concerning RV reveal 90% unsupportive of her. The FB posts are mostly supportive of her with great concern for the future of nursing, same on Youtube. Admin for allnurses have been notified of my concern. Thank you. And no I am not RV or know her, my name is Shellon Copeland and I work full time in Virginia have 36 years ER, ICU, and yes have made many med errors.

This is the first thread I have seen focused on the egregious coverup of Vandy. Check out the comments by their nurses on their fb page, hi larios, I don’t work there but there are plenty of jobs for a nurse. I fully support the nurses of Vanderbilt and work at Ft Belvoir VA, there are federal jobs all over, go to usajobs.com. I am not a recruiter but a staff nurse LOL. Good luck you guys!

I would have told the ordering provider I am not comfortable given versed for a head bleed pt in an MRI needing close monitoring, would have asked for ativan 0.5PO, the MRI (just what I read) was non-urgent a follow up, so the ordering provider is covered under the NDFR and settlement for Vanderbilt. Did anyone see the repulsive presentation from the CNO and CEO trying so hard to get out in front of this.

I hear you and my point is this you and I disagree, sometimes posters who disagree can sort of takeover the post not saying that is happening here just would like to respectfully bow out agreeing to disagree. Thanks

I hear you and acknowledge your opinion and feeling like you were attacked personally. Let’s just agree to disagree. Some threads digress into two or three people responding endlessly sucking out the oxygen of the original post and I responded to you but was speaking to the group as a whole. Thank you.

Do you work currently inpatient? I feel you may not have a current understanding of the daily goings on not about demanding patients really.

Let’s be honest, lord of the flies syndrome runs wild in nursing and here is a perfect example of that. The amount of research and effort posters have shown throwing accelerant on the fire against the nurse is impressive. This was a medication error not a criminal act, isn’t the coverup by the facility worse than the mistake (s) because their act was “intentional” and no oversight to remediate or remove an incompetent employee. I have for years let nurse managers know about real concerns in about the competence of certain nurses only to be told beggars can’t be choosers or it’s a warm body etc. Who hasn’t been in charge in ICU basing staffing on pt safety. I feel lack of action by BON is wrong and appalling showing their “mistake” and incompetence, their job IS to protect the public. Shows systemic greed, knowingly incompetent management based on money not quality safe healthcare. And this is the 2008 equivalent of banking/real estate for hospitals. their profit margins have never been more precarious.

How many pts do you think died of medical error this year? Why now why this case for criminal charges, how much does that facility pay in settled malpractice cases per year. So all medical error that causes death is criminal, since when

Cannot believe these comments about her, there was no intent even if she was grossly negligent. What about all the docs mistakes are you kidding me

I have not read any comments. There are medical errors that nurses have done that I personally know about wrong blood pt died, nurse ignoring pt heart rate pt died, PCA set very wrong by two nurses pt died, physician intubated into the stomach teenager died, and another one anesthesia hung Cipro wide open another teenager died, nurse ran tube feeding into a child’s picc line pt died none charged with a crime and should not be, I don’t know anything about her and don’t need to, why now? Why this case?

BTW the company for the Germany job is VESA Heath and Technology good luck

I am in the same spot, have looked at Aya, triage nurse, American traveler and have my application submitted for a hospital in West Virginia with Medical Solutions. I feel like the reviews are not helpful due to recruiters are so varied in helpfulness and experience. I am only going to travel for a year or two and then part time case mgr at the beach remotely somewhere. If anyone has recommendations on a travel nurse company let me know.

On indeed there is a Germany/lanstuhl case mgr position for one year, pay 70k and not great going to Europe right now but check it out.

I know from friends this has been going on, can you please show clear examples to your supervisor/risk management/patient safety officers/unions and or local newspaper etc. This is a perfect example of how greed and stupidity run unchecked in our health care system. I am so sorry for staff nurses who should be getting retention and hazard bonus’ for the last two years. Please band together and don’t stop telling people untill you get results, you will be saving lives too. What the heck are the providers doing don’t they care.

Hi: going to re-start travel nursing in June 2022. Just looking for any helpful info such as travel nurse companies, hospitals etc. Thanks guys and good luck out there.

Hi ‘91 SUSB BSN grad and worked in Shock/trauma ED there with ground/air transport team, just wishing all the SUSB nursing students and applicants good luck this is such a stressful time in the world but your going to make a big difference!

I called Aya inc about Ped Er travel nursing, wash dc has a children’s hospital it’s 6000/week believe the housing is in that but call them if interested. You are in the most highly needed specialty and prob will always be. Good luck ?

I only interviewed once for a travel assignment, they assume the vetting process with a credible agency is good enough esp these days. Also this sounds like a crisis assignment ? Four weeks, if money is good enough I would take it you may get only four hours orientation but pay very close attention to not make a med error and orders correctly followed called doc if need clarification for pt safety. And what the heck it’s only four weeks you can do it. Good luck ? don’t forget to go to Honolulu it’s the best and when I was there 90% travelers we had a blast re contracted for a year.

Have you found any? I work at a military hospital as a civilian but have heard they have contract positions in Germany but unable find out what agency, if I get any company names will let you know and the good part at any mtf in the world you just need USA RN license.

Wapo has an article today that five states (guess the red state LOL) give unemployment benefits for those fired for not vaccinating against covid. Just sayin.

So a person that is benefitting from the increased need for vents from covid is strongly opposed to vaccinations, now I have heard everything similar to an infectious disease nurse (anti-vaccine) posting on the vaccine mandate thread that the mandates will cause extreme impacts on at her facility. Wheww

That’s exactly what several of the articles predicted, a percentage of those who still choose to not vaccinate will because of possible medical bills not because of possible death from covid.

Have to respectfully disagree, the difference between an opioid addict or smoker and those to chose not to take the vaccine is very wide we are in a pandemic and their choice affects others.
