    What do you see as their hand in the specific events leading up to this patient's death,

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

    JKL33 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I think there's another take-away from this case that deserves mention—especially for those concerned that this could happen to them: How you choose to operate as a nurse-employee matters....

    So hard for new nurse

    JKL33 replied to jenny102235's topic in General Nursing

    First, I am sorry to hear of the hard time you are having with this. Regardless of reason it is unfair and wrong. Certainly possible. But have to say that it's probably sort of rare to find a...

    Revisiting The Lucy Letby case - what if she was innocent?

    JKL33 replied to mtmkjr's topic in General Nursing

    In fairness have to say that I did a little looking around tonight and there are plenty who disagree; there are definitely other facts and facets of this that are a bit more compelling than just 'she...

    Revisiting The Lucy Letby case - what if she was innocent?

    JKL33 replied to mtmkjr's topic in General Nursing

    I mean, what did I even just read? In one case they claimed she injected the baby with air but after finding out the child didn't have an IV they said well then it must have been suffocated (??)...

    Revisiting The Lucy Letby case - what if she was innocent?

    JKL33 replied to mtmkjr's topic in General Nursing

    I was not convinced when I read about this last year. I commented here that on first glance the prosecution's case seemed quite underwhelming. I remember thinking that her diary/note that they blew up...

    Preventing med errors

    JKL33 replied to Faithx14's topic in General Nursing

    Follow the 5Rs every time. If you can't get through it all by doing it properly then look for a place where the staffing is such that you have more choices than to hurry w/ mistakes or don't finish....

    Write up

    JKL33 replied to Stacie Cavazos's topic in General Nursing

    I understand them following their process but I hope it is not too harsh an outcome for you. Goodness. After all, (I know your example wasn't a fax but) it's still legal to fax things here there and...

    Who is at fault for elopement?

    JKL33 replied to muggs's topic in General Nursing

    If the resident is considered "eloped" as opposed to a resident who has the faculties to come and go as they please, then it stands to reason (or there is a very good chance) that the resident was an...

    What should I do with a confused situation

    JKL33 replied to Christinez's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry; would like to be of help here, but your principal's suggestion to request a promotion/raise from corporate higher-ups who don't think your position is necessary at all is not making a lot...

    Unlicensed personnel performing RN functions

    JKL33 replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Sounds pretty sketch to me but the devil is in the details as always. You'd have to check your state NPA and regulations that pertain to your particular care

    Burned Out Instructor

    JKL33 replied to RN0599's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I just happened across your post; I do not have any experience being an educator. I just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear of this; I does indeed sound very stressful and completely unsustainable. Your...

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

    JKL33 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. I know you meant to be inflammatory but that accusation isn't really appropriate for this scenario. This is an issue that matters, a person died directly because of the recklessness and...

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

    JKL33 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Does that seem wrong to you? Not speaking in strictly legal terms here, but do you think that getting KILLED because of a mistake like that is not a wrongful death? ("Ooops, guess that was the gas...

    My patient doesn't want to work with me at all and it's hurtful

    JKL33 replied to dsaprog's topic in General Nursing

    Did you make a second look for the active order after he told you he thought there was one, or not? And did you report to the oncoming RN that this was a pending issue? Those details aren't entirely...

    Question on boilerplate text in chart notee

    JKL33 replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Though not so funny when some of this stuff can be billed (and likely is being billed) on the back

    💔 nurse about to become a dog groomer

    JKL33 replied to CWS RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have no doubt that dog grooming has its significant challenges doing it day in/day out, but man. This is one of the dumber things reported here - - and whyyyyyy it must involve a warning of any...

    Question on boilerplate text in chart notee

    JKL33 replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would let them know this isn't okay with me. It's kind of a deal-breaker if you know it isn't being done yet have no control over signing these charts containing false information. And yes, it...

    Asking for my job back?

    JKL33 replied to Sweetpea04's topic in General Nursing

    This is a matter of mindset and at the roughly 2-year mark I think it's an unfortunate one. No doubt close to a year of your time in nursing so far has been in training mode. You have room to grow...

    Did I make an error?

    JKL33 replied to Wolfmoon_'s topic in General Nursing

    Manager is the one who should be on a PIP. I bet that unit is full-on

    It sounds like you were working on the situation. Regarding the quote above: This person does not mean to be helpful or instructive with their comments--the type which are often not directed...

    If you're saying that you filled out the paperwork with one of the patients' health information and then sent the paperwork to an entity that had nothing to do with the situation then yes technically...

    Humiliated and scared

    JKL33 replied to Overthamoon's topic in General Nursing

    The OP did not get a CT scan because her employer demanded it d/t her falling asleep at work. S/he got a CT scan due to the assessment by the EP. That has been my belief/suspicion all along....
