    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, the problem was, there were no consequences for Vaught. The BON was too busy suspending the licenses of nurses behind on their student loans to worry about the utter carelessness and negligence...

    RaDonda Vaught's Arraignment - Guilty or Not of Reckless Homicide and Patient Abuse?

    Emergent replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    @juan de la cruz I'm with you on the lawyer and stethoscope lady. She comes across poorly to me, disheveled and one dimensional. The 'nurses are victims of an unfair system' routine gets old after a...

    RaDonda Vaught's Arraignment - Guilty or Not of Reckless Homicide and Patient Abuse?

    Emergent replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Maybe the defense can subpoena the esteemed members of the Tennessee BON to hear their testimony as to why Radonda is considered a safe, prudent nurse. I'd like to hear their rationale. It would also...

    Emergent replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    RaDonda Vaught's Arraignment - Guilty or Not of Reckless Homicide and Patient Abuse?

    Emergent replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    I want to add here, I really want to begin a different angle on this case, rather than rehashing the previous discussions. Specifically, where was the BON in all this? They are deemed, and even...

    RaDonda Vaught's Arraignment - Guilty or Not of Reckless Homicide and Patient Abuse?

    Emergent replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    I think this article on Fox has some telling remarks. They give me pause. I'm of the belief that the BON should move swiftly in cases as much as this, and in her case, have suspended or revoked her...

    Emergent replied to bs76247's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking of vegetable oil, my vegan cousin, who is on the plant-based diet, is totally opposed to it. She even has her 2 Bijon Frises on a vegan diet. They are always having to go to the vet's. When...

    Trigger Warning!

    Emergent replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Said like a person who doesn't know much about me or the others here. I'm sure there's plenty of trauma to go around. BTW, you should have given us a trigger warning at the beginning of that
