  1. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Correction to the above: I meant to say that over 400 comments have been expressed on the thread, not that over 400 posters have expressed their views on the

  2. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Beth, you started a thread: "Nurse Charged with Homicide" which has had over 400 replies, some from very experienced nurses. When I last viewed the thread not long ago it had received over...

  4. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Medical errors have been shown to harm or kill large numbers of patients annually. Many medical errors go unreported. Medical errors are not currently reported on patients' death certificates. I...

  5. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    mtnNurse appears to me to be intentionally employing the "distractor" technique, trying to obfuscate and circumvent the direction the conversation is going when he/she doesn't like what is being

  6. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    "If criminal charges are looming over our head, who would want to be a nurse?" Being charged with a criminal offense is not the same as being convicted of a criminal offense. Nursing/medicine aren't...

  7. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I believe some people don't like the implications for their own

  8. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Professional nurses and professional airline pilots both have in common that they are trained in safety methods in their respective fields and have a professional and legal duty to the public by...

  9. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Think about an airline pilot who has responsibility for the safety of a large number of passengers and crew members. The pilot shows up to his/her flight drunk and is arrested on the flight deck 30...

  10. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It's a nurse's professional and legal responsibility to think about what he/she is doing when one's actions or inactions have the power to harm or kill

  11. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Making a conscious choice to bypass basic safety procedures we have been taught in nursing school is a choice not a mistake. Distinguishing between the two is not sanctimonious. If I choose to...

  12. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yes!

  13. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, if the patient had died it would have been because of your bad (reckless) choice, not your mistake, as you had been trained to do things correctly and chose not to. I don't believe that people...

  14. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with HomeBound that people here are getting hot and bothered because they don't believe that nurses and doctors should be held to a higher standard. In my opinion, you would hardly know that...

  15. Is It Possible to Never Make an Error? The Perfect Nurse Fallacy

    Susie2310 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I just posted the reply below to OldDude's comment, and for some reason it is not showing up unless I am logged in, hence my posting my comment again: This approach protects the nurses at the expense...

  16. Is It Possible to Never Make an Error? The Perfect Nurse Fallacy

    Susie2310 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    This approach protects the nurses at the expense of the public who are entrusting their care to qualified, competent nursing professionals. You have described a "no employment consequences or civil...

  17. Allnurses Clubs

    Susie2310 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in News, Announcements

    I am apprehensive that having clubs that are closed or private will lead to divisiveness on the forum. Also, in my opinion, this appears to be a way of preventing the general public from seeing the...

  18. Is It Possible to Never Make an Error? The Perfect Nurse Fallacy

    Susie2310 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, one of the problems is that nursing education today consists of much less hands on practice at the bedside taking care of patients than in the past, and practicing skills in Sim lab for...

  19. What is happening with safe nursing..

    Susie2310 replied to butterball1980's topic in Emergency

    I think I understand what you're saying. And I agree with you that if basics and standards of care and ethics and competence are important, we have to act like it 100% of the time, not just for...

  21. What is happening with safe nursing..

    Susie2310 replied to butterball1980's topic in Emergency

    When I said: "The fact that the environment is constantly difficult for practitioners to meet the Standard of Care is beside the point," by that I meant that practitioners are held individually...

    Susie2310 replied to butterball1980's topic in Emergency

  23. What is happening with safe nursing..

    Susie2310 replied to butterball1980's topic in Emergency

    I'm not arguing that the environment isn't exceedingly difficult for anyone/everyone to provide good care. No, it's not wrong thinking. Regardless of whether practitioners want to practice below the...

  24. What is happening with safe nursing..

    Susie2310 replied to butterball1980's topic in Emergency

    When individual practitioners practice below the Standard of Care, and when patients are harmed/injured/killed/suffer a negative outcome because of this, I don't see it as unreasonable that attention...

  25. What is happening with safe nursing..

    Susie2310 replied to butterball1980's topic in Emergency

    I disagree with the above. Each individual is responsible for their practice. The state Boards of Nursing holds nurses individually accountable for their practice. Each individual makes choices to...
