2. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

   NurseTechNurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   To help decide whether or not RV should get her license, one step would be for the Tennessee's BON to look at the cases of reinstated nurses within their state - they are probably already doing this....

3. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

   NurseTechNurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   NurseTechNurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   So far, there is also the perspective that the hospital is to blame as well for not having a system in place to prevent a medication error. On the other hand, as Wuzzie and others mentioned, a nurse...

9. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

   NurseTechNurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   True that. She was not an orientee or a new nurse being pressured to "hurry it up" that she could not Google, or, like others mentioned, contact pharmacy to verify- not saying this would be an...

10. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    NurseTechNurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad this case is being debated. I was under the impression that she was like others nurses who would be burnout and rushed from patient A to patient B to etc. At some hospitals, it is policy...

    NurseTechNurse replied to Kendrer's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty
