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

    klone replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, yes. They are. There have been a handful of "medical error" cases that have gone to criminal trial in the past couple decades. There is no and will not be any "slippery slope" or precedent...

    Okay, one thing I will say that the facility could have done differently to have prevented this from happening - they could have required 3 letters before pulling up the override list, instead of just...

    klone replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Your facts are incorrect. First, she did not have to override all meds. Mrs. Murphey's Versed WAS in the Pyxis profile, and had been for (I believe, if I remember the TBI report correctly) at least 15...

    klone replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    This is a straw man argument. Other nurses' laziness and lack of conscientiousness does NOT negate that what she did was WRONG and goes against everything we are taught in nursing school. Instead...

    klone replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I ALWAYS look at the medication when I pull it out of the Pyxis. EVERY SINGLE TIME. It was drilled into me in nursing school and I've never deviated from that. It's now muscle memory. Do you not?...

    What can make me a strong L&D applicant?
