  4. Oh please...none of us are being unreasonable just because we disagree with
  5. @MacNinni123 I should not have used the word "wrong". I should have used "misinformed". My
  6. First, you weren't clear with what you meant by "AllNurses's Query" as that is not a term used around here so we had absolutely no idea you were basing your opinion on email blurbs of information....
  7. Although I completely agree with the criminal charges I think many of us would have more sympathy for RV if it wasn't for her behavior after the
  8. I prefer to direct my compassion toward the people most affected. The family of Charlene
  9. She wasn't a "floater" she was a resource person on her own unit. An extra nurse because they were over staffed. Blanket requirements for a 2 person override is not the solution and will cause...
  10. I promise when you read the reports you will understand that this was not a run of the mill "slip
  11. Which is why she wasn't charged with murder. None of us do. We just don't think she should be allowed to practice as a nurse ever again. FTR those of us who supported charges did not...
  12. I think you might get a better picture of what happened if you read the CMS and TBI reports. They would clarify things for you and correct some misinformation (the patient did not have a brain injury...
  13. But they did. She just ignored it. If you're talking about the med scanning though they were in process. These kind of systems don't just happen overnight. Getting them on line takes time. You can't...

    Noise can also add to this turbulence and actually impact our health
  17. Did the pilot in the Colgan crash power up the aircraft, skip every single one of the safety checks, decide on his own what runway he was going to use and when he was going to take off and then once...

  19. Who made her ignore the multiple warnings? Who made her not read the vial? Who made her slam the medication and walk
  20. Except you read it wrong. The TBI didn't say Vanderbilt was at fault. The TBI agent said the the Health Department felt that way not the TBI. The TBI only investigated RVs
  21. Vanderbilt is responsible for their behavior after the incident. RV is 100% responsible for her actions. She knew the 5 rights. She chose not to follow them. You have proved
  22. Page 6 of the TBI RV admits that she shouldn't have used the override feature. Page 7 of the CMS shows that the medication was verified 10 minutes prior to her attempt to pull it. When a med is...
  23. If they agreed with you she wouldn't have been charged, indicted, prosecuted and found
  24. No she didn't. She didn't know that Midazolam was the generic for Versed. That's why she overrode it and she didn't even need to. It was already in the patient's profile. No it wasn't. The...
  25. The correct medication was in the patient's profile 10 minutes prior to RVs attempt to pull it. She didn't need to
