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...

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.

Great news. <<sarcasm>> You can now get an "I stand with RaDonda" t-shirt!! One was even designed by RaDonda! All the proceeds to to RaDonda. https://istandwithradonda.com/ Am I the only one who thinks this is in terrible...

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...

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...

Grossly negligent docs are also being criminally charged. https://kdvr.com/news/local/geoffrey-kim-rex-meeker-plastic-surgery-death/ "Dr. Geoffrey Kim faces charges of first-degree aggravated assault and criminally negligent homicide in E...

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...

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...

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. ...

For those of you who are following the Radonda Vaught case, she was a guest on the podcast Good Nurse Bad Nurse on January 18, 2022. (For those not familiar with this case, search for Radonda Vaught and read the threads on the case. It was discusse...

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...

Yes. She was charged with reckless homicide and abuse of a vulnerable adult. Here's a decent timeline of the events. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/health/2020/03/03/vanderbilt-nurse-radonda-vaught-arrested-reckless-homicide-vecur...

Think about the answer you got. Your question was 4.Order: Give Naprosyn suspension 0.275 g po. Available: Naprosyn 125mg/5 mL. How many mL will be given? You were asked how many mL and your answer is in grams. That should be a ...

Judges are now telling hospitals how to treat covid patients. TLDR; A man was in the ICU for COVID. The wife asked the physicians to prescribe Ivermectin. They refused saying it wouldn't help and could interfere with treatment that does work. ...

The Washington Post picked up the story. You might have access to that in your country. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/08/31/ohio-ivermectin-lawsuit-hospital-covid/

Thanks for bolding that. I read right past that in the complaint. I almost spit out my tea reading your comment. When the patient is discharged or dies, what do you bet the wife sues the hospital, nurses, et al. for allowing him to "rip the ai...

What is especially disheartening is that a large percentage of these jobs are for the Department of Veterans Affairs. It suggests that we don't care about our Veterans.

Congratulations! Any side effects? I got Shringrix in fall of 2019 right before Covid hit. The pharmacist did a very thorough job telling me that many people have side effects from it. I've NEVER had any side effect from any vaccine....

I listen to the TWiV (This Week in Virology) podcast / Youtube. It's a bunch of virologists, immunologists, vaccinologists, and infectious disease physicians talking about the latest research. Since the start of COVID the podcasts have primarily fo...

Back to the original question "What do nurses think of these incentives???" I don't see anything wrong with offering incentives to encourage people to do what is in their best interest and the best interest of their community. Years ago m...
