    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    There's a ton of information available on this case so I'm not sure what else is needed. This has nothing to do with shortages - quite the opposite in fact. And, as I've wrote before, there was a...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It's been talked about. It was not relevant because it had already been completed and not a factor in this

    Time off request denied

    MaxAttack replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I work at a unionized hospital and I haven't heard of this. It all comes down to the collective bargaining agreement that's in place (unless there's a statewide law of course). Unionized or not...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Eh if it was just a little policy violation I don't think we'd be talking about it. In this example it would be the difference between hanging potassium with saline and pushing potassium on a...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I was just commenting on the midazolam equals automatic moderate sedation. Seeing as I don't have a copy of Vanderbilt's policies I can't really speak to anything else but it would have been just...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I keep reading a lot about policies that should have been in place and just to clear things up there was a "mandated observation protocol" that should have been followed and was not. The actual policy...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure this is right. Morphine, hydromorphone, and fentanyl can be given for moderate sedation but me giving routine morphine for pain control to my patient with a hip fracture doesn't...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think this comes down to the crux of the matter. I don't know anything about how to perform a chole but at face value I look at that and think knowingly doing something (or in RV's case something...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    No they might be on to something here. Maybe there wasn't a specific policy that a paralyzing agent shouldn't be pushed on a fully awake patient without a secure airway? I can't ? By that logic...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I started in the ICU as a new grad. Either way this patient was already downgraded and wasn't an ICU patient. The rest of it is all a distraction. There are medication errors and unsafe conditions...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    No, just that it doesn't count if it doesn't sound the way we want it to to excuse mistakes that result in death. I mean she was only two years in. Most nurses don't learn to read medications until at...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    While I sort of get where you're trying to go with this I can't for the life of me see a relationship between routine medication administration for someone who's nervous about a scan and a situation...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    All of those reasons are why I'm not up in arms about legal charges. If you're not paying attention while driving and kill someone walking across the street you'll likely get hit with involuntary...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    If they let her have her license back they might as well let all of those fake Palm Beach nurses have theirs back because licensure would mean nothing

    Phasing Out ADN?

    MaxAttack replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    It worries me that someone would consider you a respected speaker. Your posts speak for themselves

    Phasing Out ADN?

    MaxAttack replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously there were no BSN degrees. You do realize that universities existed during her time, right? Critically think. The point was and has always been that Nightingale is one of the most - if not...

    Phasing Out ADN?

    MaxAttack replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    Are you serious? What facts? You yourself provided a link that she did not attend university. At this point this is some impressive cognitive

    I'm not going to keep beating a dead horse but you're missing the point. There's more to a nurse than their level of

    Phasing Out ADN?

    MaxAttack replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly my point. All of those accomplishments and EXPERIENCES were without a university degree. You've provided a great example that a nurse should not be judged to be inferior based on the...

    Phasing Out ADN?

    MaxAttack replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    I think you misread your comment. The ANA wants actual BSN-prepared nurses. I'm in favor of being a millionaire. Does that make me

    Ethical Arguments Against Mandatory Vaccination

    MaxAttack replied to ldhrn73's topic in General Nursing

    I love your comparison with antibiotic risk vs benefit because when you put it in that light it's such a ludicrous argument. I'm imagining a family member refusing antibiotics for their mother in...

    Phasing Out ADN?

    MaxAttack replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    I mean you just made the strongest case against BSN being the end all be all. There's much more to someone's nursing practice than their degree. What the ANA is pushing for would see Florence...

    Phasing Out ADN?

    MaxAttack replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe that's indicative of your own training but "discharge planning starts at admission" was drilled into my head during my ADN preparation. Even if a patient is intubated and sedated and unable to...

    Phasing Out ADN?

    MaxAttack replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    I've always hated this argument. There's a million confounding factors and it as long as we have evidence that short staffing is even more dangerous for patient care and safety it just seems like...
