  1. Management Criticism: "We see you care a great deal…"

    Susie2310 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I was going to say something similar. I think that, in addition to the above, you are expecting too much of your co-workers to expect them to just jump in, read orders, and start doing them without...

  2. The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    Susie2310 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I am correcting the above bolded to say an acute medical problem

  3. The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    Susie2310 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding is that the litigation has occurred due to various facilities' interpretation of the standard of care required in the emergency dept. setting. As I understand it, the outcome of...

  4. The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    Susie2310 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I know, the above is incorrect. My understanding is the following: Prior legal cases have brought up the definition of stabilizing care, and this includes the definition of emergency...

  5. Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

    Susie2310 replied to klone's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not all members of the public are able to easily and quickly differentiate between various doctoral degrees held by the person treating them or by the person from whom may receive care. Leaving...

  6. Patients Filming You

    Susie2310 replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    I have to disagree with those who believe the behavior (filming) necessarily has hostile elements. Of course, peoples' intentions vary, but as some posters here have mentioned, some people choose to...

  7. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think there's an area of strong resistance to any public admission that in the health care industry licensed health care workers can practice negligently or worse. Loss of public confidence has...

  8. Nevada Legislature Passes Bill Allowing Cameras in Nursing Homes

    Susie2310 replied to allnurses's topic in Nursing News

    I think this is a good move towards protecting patient safety and patients'

  9. South Carolina LPNs Arrested For Not Changing Wound Dressings

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    If not much is actually known about this situation, there's no end to how much anyone can speculate about what happened, what the working conditions were, etc. I'm not sure it's really useful to...

  10. EMR Passwords

    Susie2310 replied to Advocatenursemama's topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering how they managed to gain access to your documentation to be able to alter your

  11. Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

    Susie2310 replied to klone's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I find the above quite reasonable. Patients should be able to know up front, at the point of contact/utilization of a nurse practitioner's services what type of license/certification the Nurse...

  12. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's more than just that some people don't know the difference, although I think this could be part of the problem. I think that some people are quite comfortable with negligent actions being...

  13. Staffing Ratios and a big reason that they'll not likely happen soon

    Susie2310 replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding is that some facilities have been receiving funding from State allocated Covid funds which have been paying for travel nurses to supplement the staffing . I don't know if this is...

  14. Hello, My Name Is... And I'm An Alcoholic.

    Susie2310 replied to Michelle D-J's topic in General Nursing

    Good article. I know people who credit AA with saving their lives and I have witnessed their transformation and return to health and to maintaining satisfying family relationships and being able to...

  15. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I find it hard to believe that most people would find the type of lenience you are saying nurses/health care workers should expect and receive as a matter of course, regardless of negligent actions,...

  16. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The constant is that, as a licensed RN, in my state, my understanding is that one is independently legally and professionally responsible for one's actions in providing patient care. If the required...

  17. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You quoted a selected portion of my post above, so I will reply: 1) No sarcasm or disrespect was intended. 2) As nurses we are the Patient's Advocate, not the Nurse's Advocate. In my state, Nursing...

  18. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This is your comment that I replied to: aynRN513 said: " I do NOT believe healthcare workers should be prosecuted for med errors, but I believe we should be held accountable for our...

  19. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I find this to be an oversimplification. We are talking about professional nursing care provided by any licensed nurse that qualifies as gross/criminal negligence. In my view, prosecution that is...

  20. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think the public possibly do see nurses in a different light now, but I believe the public were considering more than just that they could be killed/harmed in the process of receiving...

  21. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of whether a policy is in place or not for a particular medication/dosage/care area, an RN is expected to know the standard of care for their administration of a medication and to possess...

  22. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The above is a very important but separate topic. It's our duty as nurses' to act as the Patient's

  23. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Re your example of med-surg nurses being randomly asked to go to Radiology to push Versed: Part of safe medication administration includes the requirement that the individual nurse understands/knows...

  24. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I want to clarify that I am not saying that I believe healthcare professionals shouldn't face prosecution for their gross or criminal negligence that results in harm/death to patients. I'm saying...

  25. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I signed in to reply to this. You keep insisting and promoting that failure to provide the standard of care and failure to practice as a normally prudent nurse, resulting in grossly negligent...
