    RaDonda Vaught Update - State Health Officials Reverse Decision and File Medical Disciplinary Charges

    Corey Narry replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    This should be the focus of error prevention and safety...getting to the bottom of why nurses make short cuts and set themselves up for risks of harm to their patients. That shouldn't be a pipe

    I agree with your statement. My question was to open the discussion up for my opinion that an error of this magnitude is not something that can be easily hidden. Even if the primary nurse did not...

    Well, that ISMP article is an opinion piece...a Position Statement. All posters here in this thread are also giving their own opinions including you and I. Since you asked, I have a few opinions on...

    It was kind of a weak example on my part I have to say. But again, if you think about it, there aren't a lot of other details in my example and it's not completely inconceivable. An Uber driver hit a...

    Corey Narry replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    I agree about how speed is incentivized and praised as an asset. Perhaps that was RV's downfall. Given that she even had a new nurse she was training, was she modeling her self notion of speed and...

    No one seeking vengeance, we are seeking justice based on how the law defines it. I've read that ISMP article many times, and to me, it's not only biased, it's also inaccurate. I feel that ISMP will...

    Corey Narry replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    I hope you know that RV is not being charged with Criminal Negligence. Under Tennessee Criminal Code, Criminal Negligence is not the same as Reckless Homicide. I still believe (and you can disagree if...

    Corey Narry replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    I think we all agree that nurses do short cuts all the time..."at risk" behaviors that are considered reckless. Some of these, we do out of necessity and with full knowledge that we are breaking...

    Corey Narry replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    I think that's only partly true because not all meds are ordered in the exact dose they are supplied. Midazolam for instance typically comes in 2 mg vials. In the ideal situation, if RV was really...

    Corey Narry replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Of course BCMA is never fail safe. But there's no denying that in RV's specific case, would BCMA have prevented her from administering the wrong drug? Perhaps. In fact, if this were a case of RV...

    I didn't say that healthcare institutions have criminalized the override function. I did get a sense that since you claim that the DA "criminalized" the override function, you are also saying that...

    ACNP certification

    Corey Narry replied to stevengoodman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's unfortunately part of the nature of NP certification in some cases. FNP's have 2 options as well - certify with ANCC or AANP, PNP-PC's can certify with ANCC or PNCB, and ACNP's can certify with...

    Corey Narry replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Well stupid might be too strong of a word. RV is likely not stupid in the sense that she is smart enough to make it through nursing school and practice nursing in the ICU until this event happened. I...

    Corey Narry replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Which is the wrong way obviously. That's why I'm so against banning the "override" function. As the sage @Wuzzie (lol) said, there is no substitute for using the proverbial 5 rights...and you have...

    Amen. That is why I'm so puzzled with RV's actions. Let's throw that "super nurse" label out of the way for while...because wouldn't one just stop and really really look at the label for just a few...

    The order was already entered and approved by Pharmacy prior to RV coming down to see the patient in the PET scanner. It actually leads me to believe that their order read as "midazolam". Remember...
