    Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

    Corey Narry replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    People respond to stress in various ways. I actually admired her response despite the fact that I also believe she made an egregious mistake and deserve the consequences of losing her job and her...

    Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

    Corey Narry replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I have a problem with this assumption. Ms Vaught did not know she gave the wrong med but she did not totally forget about this patient when a code blue was called in Nuc Med. She said, per her account...

    Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

    Corey Narry replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    We don't know much details about her orientee other than what I know from Ms Vaught's statements. The orientee was a former CNA in her unit with a number of weeks of orientation but not close to...

    Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

    Corey Narry replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    It's too bad you can't post the obituaries of victims of medical errors who died unnamed because the provider/s who committed the errors did not come forward and admit their

    Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

    Corey Narry replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Question to nurses: I am a provider and get asked by nurses all the time if the patient can travel to a test without a monitor. I don't mind giving them my answer but isn't that an independent...

    Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

    Corey Narry replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    It would have been a med error in my institution anyway if she had given the Versed. The way I would as a provider write that order is: "Versed 1 or 2 mg IVP once prior to PET scan" and the PET scan...

    Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

    Corey Narry replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I do not know her personally so I'm going objectively with her statement. That's why I said, if her gut feeling is that a patient requiring Versed must be monitored then should monitor regardless of...

    Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

    Corey Narry replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I'm looking at a different angle in my final paragraph because I now know that Mrs Murphy didn't even go to the PET Scanner because the tech cancelled it and communicated it to the primary nurse by...

    Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

    Corey Narry replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking fee aside, this thread prompted me to actually look Ms Vaught up online with a fresh new lens and see her speak. She's done a few in-depth interviews more recently and I feel that her story...

    Turning off Monitors

    Corey Narry replied to Amanda Houtz's topic in Emergency

    This is something that should be addressed with this attending. Telemetry use is an order the provider writes. I agree with some physicians that we overuse the order for telemetry and in many places...

    Prior employer restricting EPIC access for new job/employer

    Corey Narry replied to pastudent's topic in General Nursing

    Epic shares clinical information across organizations. If you happen to work at another hospital that uses Epic, you can access information about services a patient received in your former employer's...

    Prior employer restricting EPIC access for new job/employer

    Corey Narry replied to pastudent's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that. In what capacity do you have to use this former hospital's Epic EMR as a contractor? Is it to do non-clinical stuff? (utilization review, QI). Is your role clinical? I think a lot...

    Prior employer restricting EPIC access for new job/employer

    Corey Narry replied to pastudent's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds bizarre to me. When an employee leaves a company, all types of access to the IT system (including Epic) is revoked regardless of the circumstances. OP is saying that they work for a different...

    ChatGPT and other AI/LLM programs in academia

    Corey Narry replied to KNB_RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    We had a recent FNP student in our practice from a well-known East Coast program who told us that part of their lectures on finding clinical resources include using AI such as ChatGPT in addition to...

    What do hospital nurses want/need?

    Corey Narry replied to khillbrt's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Northern California and we have both mandated nurse to patient staffing ratios and higher pay than most metro areas for RN's. I never worked as a bedside nurse here (I started bedside nursing...

    Nurses opinion re: career

    Corey Narry replied to Nursingdreams77's topic in General Nursing

    Right? that work is not for everyone. I did it early in my career as a 20-something year old RN in the 90's and it's a revolving door and only hardcore nurses who genuinely love that kind of work...

    California requires a Standardized Procedures document for each procedure you are performing in your clinical practice. The rules and guidance are in the BRN website. I work in a hospital where some...

    CRNA application for an international BSN Graduate, is it possible to get in?

    Corey Narry replied to MissUninurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not a CRNA, but I'm an NP. There are internationally trained RN's who have been accepted to CRNA programs, have graduated, and are in practice and I personally know a few. For someone who got...

    Can an OR nurse become a nurse practitioner?

    Corey Narry replied to orrn2124's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Success as an NP is mired in so many variables. What is your ideal role as an NP? the field is as diverse as nursing itself and the career pathways are also quite confusing. Your previous role are as...

    Is being an NP worth it?

    Corey Narry replied to daisychains11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You should reconcile your ideal of what a NP does with the reality of what NP's on the field experience every day and the best way to do that is to ask to shadow as many NP's in the role you are...
