    Radonda Vaught Was A Guest On A Good Nurse / Bad Nurse Podcast

    Tenebrae replied to Anonymous865's topic in General Nursing

    I'm undecided. She should never have been allowed to practice as a nurse without some serious and intensive remediation. The board of nursing totally screwed up in choosing to do nothing about...
