    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    The investigation, from my understanding, from a CMS standpoint, is over. At this point, the nurse is gone and they are working with Vanderbilt on some changes, but the rest is up to the DA's office....

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    It is in the CMS report. She only had a verbal order and it was not yet loaded into the system where Versed could show up under the patient. At my hospital, if you pull drugs that are not emergent...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Those questions are the very legal definition of reckless homicide. Have you ever taken a legal class even as an elective in college? If you have....then you would better understand this is not even...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    We don't know that she was distracted. There is nothing in the CMS report to demonstrate that. There are three types of pharmaceutical needs: Emergent, Immediate/non-emergent, routine. Anything...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    There is no "interpretation" here. Any first year law student could tell you what reckless homicide is...it is when your NEGLIGENCE causes the death of another human being. There is nothing...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    This is probably the most reasonable suggestion that I have seen in this entire thread of 500+ posts. The pharmacy can put a warning of any kind of any type of medication selected. Not even...

    Bring back our childhood diseases!

    I stopped calling them anti-vaxxers and started calling them Pro-Diseasers. I normally don't advocate forced medical care, but childhood immunizations should be one of them. Right now since many...

    I Hope This is Not the Latest Trend

    Yes, I hope it's a trend because these people SHOULD BE in jail. Falsifying information and forging signatures is a choice. If that in turn causes a patient's death, then yes, you should be charged...

    Scope Of Practice Question

    Nope. We have RNs that are sitters at my hospital if they would otherwise get low-census. They only thing they don't do when sitting is administer medications, wound care, etc....because you would...

    Conflict of Interest

    We have two things going on here: 1. A little snitch causing trouble at the nursing school. He is a student, not an employee. He has the right to do whatever he wants for a job. The dean should have...

    Phenergan Abuse?

    The patient doesn't get to decide the most appropriate route. Just be careful on disclosing to too many patients that "we only give IM with active vomiting". Say instead, "The provider feels PO is...

    Finding a job as a pregnant new grad

    There are tons of stories on here of nurses that found jobs while pregnant, but if you can wait...do. Mainly because you need more than three weeks off with your baby. Yes, you will still qualify...
  15. You are under no obligation to inform anyone and there are many people that don't disclose for a variety of reasons. At 12 weeks and still in your probationary period? No, I would not say anything....

    What is most important to chart on?

    I could kiss you for asking this question!! Many new grad nurses chart very little in their narrative and that...can come back to bite them. It sounds like you have the basics covered...you document...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    The purpose of jail is not to rehabilitate. The purpose is to punish. That is why we don't let everyone off on probation that commits a criminal offense that has a unique set of circumstances...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    When you bypass seven different safety checks....yes, that is a deliberate action. Which is why she is being charged. Forget RV...the bottom line is there is no threshold for nursing standards...

    First....you denied a source existed for WHY SHE WAS CHARGED, I proved you wrong and the person that started with the patronizing attitude was you. You get what you give. Second...copy and paste...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    Oh wow...you really don't get it do you? So even after I supply a source you still don't get it. Honey...it's not a rush to judgement. It is a FACT she is being charged b/c she bypassed multiple...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    It is in several news reports. The whole reason they are charging her is because she intentionally bypassed MULTIPLE checks. That is why you don't see these cases in the news every day or multiple...
