   Anonymous865 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Once again the Tennessee Board of Nursing has failed to protect patients. In July 2021 Johnson City Medical Center in Johnson City, TN, found that someone had tampered with vials of dilaudid and returned the vials to the omnicell. The tampered via...

2. Radonda Vaught Trial

   Unfortunately a lot of people have read the CMS report and see it as proof that all fault falls squarely on the hospital. To them the fact that CMS issued "a 50+ page deficiency report" to the hospital is proof it's the hospital's fault.

   I don't know of a transcript. The 2nd time the board considered the complaint against her, the board meeting was live streamed. The links to the live stream are here https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/health/healthprofboards/nursing/meeting-sch...

5. Radonda Vaught Trial

   Anonymous865 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   In her testimony to the 2nd BON investigation, it sounds even worse. They asked when was the last time she had given Versed. Radonda answered the day before the incident. BON: isn't Versed a controlled substance Radonda: Yes B...

7. Radonda Vaught Trial

   Anonymous865 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   I've been looking at sentencing guidelines for Judges in TN, and it looks like she'll get probation. They say, "A defendant has the presumption of an alternative sentence if he/she is convicted of a C, D or E felony as a Range One standard offen...

8. Radonda Vaught Trial

   Anonymous865 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   She told the TBI that she thought it was weird when the vial contained a powder, because Versed was a liquid. She took the time to read how to reconstitute the med, but didn't bother to read what med she pulled. She was the "help all nurse." T...

9. Radonda Vaught Trial

   Anonymous865 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   I think she is guilty of reckless homicide. She acted in a way contrary to what a reasonable person with similar training and education would act. No reasonable nurse would act in the careless manner she did. This resulted in another's death. ...

10. How to find a safe surgeon?

    Anonymous865 replied to GypsyTig's topic in Safety

    I've been watching this hoping that someone would provide some good advice, since I too need to find a good surgeon. I've learned you can't trust the recommendations of your physicians anymore. It seems that most physicians no longer have a pri...

    Wow. Attempting to purchase firearms while you are awaiting trial does seem to indicate questionable judgement. Lying on a federal application where there is usually some wording that by signing the form you are attesting under oath that...

    I'm glad you said all that. That was my response too. I have heard all those excuses and explanations in many articles. I was starting to wonder if I expected too much.?

    I don't think that VUMC got the DA on board to help them out. I have cousins who are lawyers in Nashville. They know the DA. He spent probably 30 years of his career as a defense attorney. He ran for office because he wanted to clean up the D...

    The news coverage made a big deal about the override function. I don't remember VUMC or CMS making that an issue. Perhaps you are thinking of the news coverage? CMS was tipped off. Initially they said they were alerted by an anonymous source...
