    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    That is irrelevant on whether someone should be criminally charged or not! I have no doubt that she is likely a good person AND a good nurse who just made a horrible mistake. But just like someone...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    From my quick internet search, in Tennesee reckless homicide is defined per Tennessee Code 39-13-215 as "Reckless: means that a person acts recklessly with respect to circumstances surrounding the...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't change the fact that she killed a person even though she didn't mean to, even though she thought she was on the right street. . Now, if there were no signs indicating what the speed was or...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Mind boggling, yet also not surprising at the same time. I am still always surprised to float to different units and find a nurse with just a year's experience orienting a new grad. It has become the...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    That is no excuse. And my point is that regardless, she admitted she didn't even look at the vial after she pulled it out of the dispenser. Even for a "basic" medication like PO tylenol, a prudent...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! How can ignoring this be excused? No matter how busy, how short staffed, how whatever - how can we excuse blatantly ignoring a warning like this? Not to mention the other safety measures...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This was a really interesting read even though it is super long and sheds some light on the gross negligence of this nurse. This is what happened by her own recollection... The RN stated he/she then...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Another thought in regards to everyone saying that it was an accident so there shouldn't be charges brought against her...of course it was an accident, there's no denying that she did not maliciously...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good summary of her very blatant and negligent safety overrides which ultimately caused this death. When I first heard about this, without knowing the details and thinking it was just a...

    You must watch me!

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have mixed feelings about the waste process that has changed over the years. What I will say is this - do I watch others waste and want to be watched while I waste? Absolutely. If nothing besides...

    What is most important to chart on?

    JadedCPN replied to Red_Diamond's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what the above posters suggested. Just a couple things that stand out to me for charting - it is important to chart the whole picture if you can. For instance for a patient that refused a...

    Any facilities actually using an AccuVein? Any thoughts?

    JadedCPN replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    Being in pediatrics my whole career, every hospital I have worked for has had one since they came out. Admittingly, I do not use them that often and have mixed feelings about them. The rare times I...

    Does the BSN in 10 apply to all nurses or just RN's and why?

    Should I feel guilty?

    JadedCPN replied to RNOrtho's topic in General Nursing

    As others have said, you should NOT feel guilty. I only pick up extra shifts when I want to and it benefits me and don't answer the phone if they call when I don't want to be there - and I don't feel...

    4 Reasons Ghosting an Employer is a Bad Idea

    JadedCPN replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    No offense meant at all and truly not to take away from the actual content of the article, but I cringed when reading this title. It reminds me of parents who try to be cool by saying the "hip" new...

    Does the BSN in 10 apply to all nurses or just RN's and why?

    JadedCPN replied to LPNTORN704's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused by what you mean when you say "an rn an a bsn do the exact same thing." These are not two different titles/degrees/licensures. One is a licensure, which is the RN, and one is a degree,...

    Insulting pay raise

    JadedCPN replied to shakeytails's topic in General Nursing

    Like others have mentioned, I understand you feel you deserve more but unfortunately that is not how raises work. I have worked at a hospital that has given me raises of around $1 each year, I have...

    Is it wrong to ask

    JadedCPN replied to Meredithhg's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've never solicited Daisy nominations but know of several nurses who would pass the forms out to their patient/families like it was candy. I worked at a facility where part of our admission/welcome...

    Would this shirt get me into trouble in class?

    JadedCPN replied to FloridaLPN19's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I completely agree! I have exactly two pieces of clothing with the word nurse on it which were gifts from friends and they are boxed away in my closet somewhere. To me it is all just so cheesy, yuck....
