  2. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    NefforamaRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This was not just a medication error. She was reckless, she was arrogant, she completely ignored the ethical standard of do no harm. I defintely believe Vanderbilt should be held accountable for...

    NefforamaRN replied to hkrn89's topic in Public, Community Health

    NefforamaRN replied to Drgnfy13's topic in General Nursing

    NefforamaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Funny, for "is there anything I can help you with" depends on the setting. As a resource nurse in the ER, you find yourself asking that... and meaning it. Although many times you don't ask, you just...
