    Radonda Vaught Sentenced

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

    Should good health be a requirement for certain positions?

    Tenebrae replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I think the issue is not doing her job, she is using the health as an excuse to not doing her job. I have severe osteoarthritis, I'm getting to the point of having to tape fingers to stabilise...

    Tenebrae replied to chocolateocean's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Main language of Iran is Farsi. At the risk of being snarky, I have concerns about a nursing professor giving out such incredibly incorrect information, its literally setting up nurse/patient...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

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

    My judgement of RV is based solely on the facts of the case - She totally ignored the 5+ rights of med administration. I mean it takes less than five seconds to read the label of the vial....

    Radonda Vaught Trial

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

    Shes learned from her mistake? Not. She should never be allowed to hold nursing registration ever again. The Tennessee Board of nursing should hang its head in shame. How the heck can you...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

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

    The state board of nursing dropped the ball majorly. To look at that situation and determine that RV was a safe practitioner is unconscionable. Perhaps if they had of done their job and ensured that...

    LTC Question/Opinion

    Tenebrae replied to phoebebrat's topic in General Nursing

    Look for a new job ASAP. Your management have shown they don't care about patient and staff safety. It's only a matter of time till something happens and they do their best to throw you under the...
