    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Many of us started in the ICU (I started in NICU) and managed to not kill anyone. It depends on the individual. Also, she wasn't "floating" she was a resource person working in her own unit. I have...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    She hasn't even finished her probationary period. How has she paid her "dues"? Also SHE didn't take herself from bedside. She continued working until she was fired, went to another hospital and got...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    No, again the instructions were not for her to "hide her error". There was no med scanner in radiology. RV asked her what to do. She told her the med would be reflected in the MAR. It had nothing to...

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    No the manager did not tell her to hide her error!! There was no computer scanning in radiology at the time and she didn't know how to document the administration without it. Her manager told her to...

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    @Firemedicmike To take it even further Versed is to be pushed slowly over 1 to 2 minutes. I guarantee you that the vecuronium would have kicked in long before then. So not only did she push it...

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You need to read the TBI and CMS reports then. You'll likely have a different viewpoint once you have the actual facts not what you've read on social media. She couldn't very well deny it...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    She didn't read the 5 warnings on the Omnicell. She didn't read the label on the vial. She didn't read the top of the vial when she stuck the needle in it. She "didn't read" the gun application form...

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I literally never said that! What I said is that in this case conflating the two issues is a thinly veiled attempt at obfuscating what really happened which is a nurse did not follow the protocol for...

    And it's unfortunate that the court ruling was written in such a way that this is even possible. The only reason I wanted her convicted was to ensure she could never practice as a nurse again but look...

    I agree. I never thought she should be jailed, convicted yes but not jailed. I wanted the criminal conviction so RV could never get her license back. Unfortunately the Tennessee legal system *** that...

    My irritation comes when people appear to use what Vandy did as a smokescreen to cover up just how egregiously awful a nurse RV is. It's two different issues, marginally related but

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    What debate could there even be? And let's back this up since we're all about EBP. There is a standard of care, policy, procedure and EBP research to support following, at bare minimum, the 5 rights...

    As a prudent nurse if I was unsure I would consult a pharmacist and clarify with the ordering physician what monitoring the patient required. Remember she was given the anxiolytic dose not the...
