I'm an inpatient peds nurse, not school nurse, but I love reading this forum. Let me just say that even as an inpatient nurse, monkey bars are the BANE of my existence too! Every single time we get a...
If the formula would have been primed all the way down to the open end where the cap was missing, I wouldn’t have hung it. But the fact that the tubing essentially wasn’t primed at all, so there...
First, interviewing for nursing school is NOT discrimination. At all. Second, my humble suggestion is for you to change your mind frame because it appears that you may be being your own worst enemy....
I think that was a big assumption on your behalf. As someone who voted that she should be charged, that does not mean I think she should be charged and found guilty. It just means that her behavior...
Lol! Yes I’m sure there’s been a ton. Nothing wrong with being impassioned of course. I am just struggling with so many people blindly using emotion rather than logic to come to their conclusions....
She had every opportunity to check the right patient and right dose, you don’t need a scanner for that. She admitted she didn’t even LOOK at the vial that she pulled! This was in the CMS report....
Did you read any bit of the CMS report or do any actual research prior to writing this? I’m going to assume the answer is no based on this. She admitted to being in the role of a “help all”...
Not just died on your watch, but undisputedly died 1000% as a result of your actions. Yea, a few months in the fetal position balling my eyes out, in therapy, would be just the
Seems like everyone on this post “gets it” except for the OP; nobody is claiming to be a perfect nurse. I read every single response of the other thread. Nobody said they were perfect and just...
I completely agree. I would be curious if the same people who do not think she should be criminally charged (charged, not automatically found guilty) would feel the same way if it were a similar...
In my humble opinion, this seems like overkill. Like Wuzzie said, I've never caught anything in my 12 years besides respiratory stuff and I wear my work shoes in the house, I don't strip down as soon...
I can't completely agree with this logic. There are way too many facilities out there that are so focused on the money that you have brand new nurses with a year's experience getting placed in...

Not a single day have I ever regretted it. It allows me great schedule flexibility, fairly good pay with the option to always make more money via overtime when I want/need it, and I am fortunate to...
I guess I struggle with where to draw the line like others have mentioned. I am no lawyer, but in regards to criminality I think her intent is the main thing that matters which is why she isn't being...
I completely understand your argument and what you are saying, for sure. I definitely see it differently, not as one big mistake but rather I see it as the multiple individual mistakes that she made...
I've already read through every reply on this page, including your post regarding reckless homicide and Russian roulette, as well as the CMS report. Not sure why you are assuming I haven't read just...
Yes it appears you misunderstood. The OP specifically mentioned that an "RN and BSN do the same thing" as if they were comparing apples to apples. I simply was stating that they are different things -...
