    MaxAttack replied to TAKOO01's topic in Nursing News

    This case is so radically different from RaDonda. Expecting a single person to be responsible for 38 additional patients while also expecting neuro checks every 15 minutes for an hour and then hourly...

    Preceptor issues

    MaxAttack replied to atlnurse7's topic in Critical Care

    I'm failing to see the issue here. One way or another the med was wasted. There's a lot more critical things to worry about than keeping a diary of who wastes with who. Waiting until the end of the...

    Arguing Over a Patient Assignment

    MaxAttack replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I think the worst part about this whole story is that management punished a nurse for admittedly false accusations by known

    Nurses Promoting COVID Misinformation

    MaxAttack replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Notifications. Top right. ? Lots of tangential thoughts for someone that apparently (like what I did there?) doesn't like social media because of tangential thoughts. I'll be waiting for my...

    How to spot a bad nurse

    MaxAttack replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    "If a nurse is gossiping, mocking, judging or otherwise saying negative things about a patient or their family, beware" Tbh I'm more concerned about the sociopath that has to deal with some of...

    Nurses Promoting COVID Misinformation

    MaxAttack replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You resurrected a dead thread from 2021 for this? How many patients are we talking here? This really isn't a huge deal if we're talking about a rural hospital with 5 patients. What's the...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    MaxAttack replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't touch on voluntary manslaughter in TN because A) it really has nothing to do with what we were discussing ("Tennessee Involuntary Manslaughter Laws" and further evidenced by the fact you had...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    MaxAttack replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Ffs, did you actually read the article? "In Tennessee, involuntary manslaughter is divided into three categories of vehicular homicide, reckless homicide, and criminally negligent homicide."...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    MaxAttack replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Since with RaDonda we're talking about Tennessee and really it's specifically their laws we should be looking at, I'll just present this excerpt from FindLaw's legal editors and writers (emphasis...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    MaxAttack replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    A lawyer you are not. They were showing that there were so many errors that what happened was elevated to a level of reckless disregard for safety. I'm not going to argue law with you but I can...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    MaxAttack replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    This paper says there were 18 mistakes that AMOUNTED TO gross negligence, not that there were 18 instances of gross negligence. No one's being criminally charged for holding the wrong medication...

    Unsafe hospital rant!

    MaxAttack replied to Mebzone05's topic in Critical Care

    I don't want to go into a full on rant about the floors but I find the less I expect the happier I am. Floor nurses everywhere have too many patients and too much stuff to deal with and yes you have...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    MaxAttack replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    This is a great example of a false dichotomy and it truly makes no sense. This is like saying if you support criminal charges against murders then you don't support gun control. In RaDonda's...

    Alternative to Discipline Program Violation

    MaxAttack replied to kerrbearrnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's pretty harsh if you ask me. I'd contact them to ask what your options are and then look for a lawyer that knows the monitoring

    Thanks for this. I had read through some of the court documents but this filled in some of the

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    MaxAttack replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    She was an extra nurse without an assignment who was taking a patient for a routine scan. This is literally as far from a 45 patient long-term care assignment as is possible. On top of that there...

    How does random testing work if you are working?

    Leaving nursing

    MaxAttack replied to Peachykay's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've known people who did this. Usually for financial reasons. To me, the benefits of keeping my license for outweigh the nonsense we have to go through. I was pretty bitter for the first year or so...

    New Grad Med Error in ED

    MaxAttack replied to Newgradacutern's topic in Emergency

    Did I miss something? Where was the error? You calculated the drop rate instead of putting it on a pump? If anything the incident report should be for the psychotic toxic charge nurse. A simple "hey...

    How often is Vecuronium given in the ICU setting?

    MaxAttack replied to Turtle in scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Wow I had no idea about this trial. That could be a whole thread of its own.. In any case I'm assuming you're talking about any paralytics, not just vec? I've only used vecuronium once or twice....

    When Delegation is Unsuccessful

    MaxAttack replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of anything else in this story, who's responsibility was it to enter this order? There's your lapse and that breakdown in the system specifically needs to be addressed (not just for this...

    Professional Responsibility vs Family Needs

    MaxAttack replied to dkn86's topic in General Nursing

    I think the "other drugs" conveyed that. Also a male here. Might want to change those defaults ? To OP - It sounds like this is second-hand information and could very well be overblown or plain...

    ICU Nurses Dealing with COVID Patients

    MaxAttack replied to MareBear112's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes. Notable contributing factors in the last few were that two were transplant recipients, one was > 80, and one was in her 20-30's and pregnant. Vaccine isn't a guarantee,
