    Doctors office

    JKL33 replied to Hmdnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Fair enough; my rationale is to avoid staff doing ANY triage of this situation. Definitely want to avoid getting involved in whether or not the ED is necessary and by what means s/he should be...

    Family update over phone

    JKL33 replied to VBjr's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Good question. My take on it: You could be on speaker phone at any time without having the courtesy of being notified--but that's on the family member who is authorized to receive...

    Call 911. If they want to refuse EMS services they

    Hospice morphine overdose

    JKL33 replied to Robbie8121's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It actually is not plain and simple as the OP never did disclose his or her position in regard to the post s/he made, and even if an accusation had been made, none of us would have access to any facts...

    If you were intubated or had pressors, do they go on your name in the controlled substances monitoring database?

    JKL33 replied to Nveez's topic in Critical Care

    Hello - Your friend's question is best directed to the health care providers involved.

    Preceptorship with no assigned preceptor?

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

    How is it going now? I think this is an inappropriate situation, primarily because if I am correctly understanding that you are in a final preceptorship, the goal there is typically to work with...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    We all know this was not an emergency. The rationale behind access to paralytics is that they are often needed on a timeline that is significantly shorter than the usual process of getting a med...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    For clarification—I didn't say those were the circumstances; sorry if that's the way it came across. I was referring to the idea that people are imagining the circumstances of this case based on...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    There are a number of posters here who were not involved in initial extensive discussions we have had on this matter closer to the time the reports came out. They are bringing up matters that have...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. And I guess for those imagining that this was a set-up/total systemic failure of not knowing what should be done in a scenario like this and not having any policies to support good...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    She could have referred to the policies and procedures that cover IV medication administration, or just medication administration in

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I also think it is hard to expect that we would have a policy for every scenario. We should all know that nursing is much more than chumming around the hospital with Darren. ETA: Those who are...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Wuzzie regarding use for anxiolysis vs. moderate sedation. However, as a thought experiment it could be said that your line of thinking here would demand that RV then should have...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I agree w/ your post, and I have seen docs try to cover for mistakes too. I imagine, but do not know, that the care providers involved were just trying to be decent human beings, by that I mean...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Nah!! Now that is a fair question. Why the heck keep that around for MONTHS. And do nothing with it. That's bizarro. I mean, they certainly could've turned it in when they reported the death....

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Answer is yes. This should be clear, or at least be able to be deduced, by the fact that places have policies defining what constitutes procedural sedation, the specifics that differentiate the...

    Seeking Advice When Receiving Orders

    JKL33 replied to SwiftieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would find it helpful, things like that are my way of peace-making/telling them to lay off, however you want to look at it. Realistically a physician is going to want to hear about this from a...

    Seeking Advice When Receiving Orders

    JKL33 replied to SwiftieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto the above. Have a friendly chat with these midlevels who are getting disgruntled and tell them that you weren't born yesterday but that on paper the various orders add up to clear as mud...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, she was able to be charged and was subsequently convicted because she acted recklessly in her professional role and killed someone. However, I believe her prosecution came about for a few...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    My response is solely regarding your dismissal of Brandy's comments regarding the prosecutorial events. I am stating my doubt that Mr. Prosecutor acted with a righteous desire to seek justice....

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I will admit (again) I do believe the order of and reason for events as described by Brandy. I have seen way too much to believe otherwise. Still think she should never have a license to...

    Nurses who act jealous toward patient

    JKL33 replied to Nurse One - Clinical N's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like that about sums it up. Life's too short to worry about this stuff. Stay out of it. If you're one of the two professional parties involved...make better

    Patient Experience/Patient Satisfaction Scores Are Not Solely the Nurse's Responsibility

    JKL33 replied to TeachRN's topic in General Nursing

    Executives bear THE grand majority of the responsibility for patient experience. Period. What they want to do is shirk that responsibility and pretend that poor experiences are the fault of...

    Being bullied and charged with abandonment

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I have my own take on these types of situations, I share it only because of having successfully handled people like this. Most have been run-of-the-mill but a couple have been serious, one put...

    discharge documentation

    Maybe it wasn't this way everywhere when the OP wrote the post 13 years ago.
