    Radonda Vaught Trial

    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Are you being intentionally obtuse? Wanting her to be convicted is not the same as getting joy/delight/pleasure from it. I watched her entire BON hearing. I sincerely feel badly for her. I...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    She wasn't in a longterm care facility with 45 patients. She was a helper nurse with no patient assignment. It was not a matter of looking up an unfamiliar medication before giving it. It was a matter...

    If RV had pleaded to a lesser charge and gotten away with probation, there would be no furor from the general public. Lesson learned - not only should you always LOOK AT the medication before giving...

    Fake Nursing School Scammed Me

    klone replied to Soy Dora's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have to physically take the exam in FL if you want to get a FL license (or any state). You just apply to the FL BON to take the exam. You can be anywhere in the country to physically take...

    End of Year Reviews...finally done!

    klone replied to txredapple79's topic in Nurse Management

    For me, it helps having a hard deadline. So the best way to motivate me is to actually schedule several of them each week, and then each week I would write that week's reviews. It forced me to get...

    Fake Nursing School Scammed Me

    klone replied to Soy Dora's topic in General Nursing

    Did you pay cash or take out a student loan? I believe the feds are cancelling student loan debt for situations like that - where the school went out of

    For me it's usually for describing a violent act I would like to do upon some unnamed hypothetical person. Once I said that I would like to "punch in the throat" nurse managers who make arbitrary...

    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I never said, nor do I believe, that it’s up to the nurse alone to prevent med errors. But I firmly believe that any nurse who would not look ONCE at the medication she was pulling up,...

    "Want" is different from "require" though. Sure, it would be NICE. But I've rarely heard of it being required for a staff

    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Good. I’m okay with the lesser homicide charge. I think justice was served. As an RN, I am in no way concerned that this is a “slippery slope.” Why? Because I always look at a med...

    This goes so beyond "med error." It doesn't matter that intent to harm wasn't there. An analogy for "med error" would be - person is driving their car, following the laws of the road, and gets...

    klone replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    Most nursing jobs don't require that, unless you're in leadership. I agree with those who said that with unresolved/untreated clinical depression, it's not going to matter WHERE you work, you will...

    Wow, so did defense decline to mount a case? Do they think it's that strong that they are going to rely solely on reasonable doubt from the prosecution's case?
