    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    There is a 105 page CMS report and at least a 50 page TBI report that outlines exactly what happened. If that isn't enough information for you I'm not sure there ever will be. I recommend you read it...

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This and no prudent nurse should need a policy to figure this out. I'm betting there's one that says "read the vial" and "don't slam a med and then walk away.

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Accepted. The transporting issue gets muddy because, technically, the patient had been discharged from the ICU and was waiting for a bed. Given that she wasn't an ICU patient the new policy wouldn't...

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    But there is a standard of care. You don't slam any medication and walk away. You don't need a policy for that. Or maybe you do. I prefer to think independently and with the goal of providing good,...

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    When I used it as an anxioytic it was a baseline set of vitals, monitor for effect and recheck vitals in 15 minutes or sooner if my nursing assessment judged it necessary. This was not a policy but my...
