  1. Radonda Vaught Trial

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

    I agree; she was totally negligent. I have read A LOT of opinions and a lot of facts that I was unaware of when she was first found guilty. At that time I felt like many others, that convicting a...

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

  3. Radonda Vaught Trial

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

    tmjkr I can agree that she is at fault and that her error goes beyond "just" an error to negligence. She did have choices and made the wrong ones. So yes, you are correct that this is not...

  5. Radonda Vaught Trial

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

    Sorry, Rose_Queen, I did not see the TBI report. The report I read gave a timeline but stated that the vial AT THAT TIME did not have the prominent labeling that it does now. My point is that...

  6. Radonda Vaught Trial

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

    I can agree totally with all of this; my stand is that although it is a grievous error, she did not intend this; The major problem for me is that she has been thrown under the bus by everyone; At...

  7. Radonda Vaught Trial

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

    I don't agree with the criminalization of this error. Yes, she was grossly wrong. She was also given wrong information; which of us have not acted on what another more experienced nurse has told us...

  8. The Slow Code: Justified?

    Mommavik replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I already have my wishes written out; IF my death is witnessed then do everything possible, BUT if someone finds my dead body even if i am still warm LEAVE ME ALONE! My family have also been told...

  9. How do you feel about having other nurses as patients?

    Mommavik replied to purplegal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would love to have had her as an

  10. How do you feel about having other nurses as patients?

    Mommavik replied to purplegal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am a retired RN; I'll be the first to tell you I don't know everything; there's always something new to learn, whether it's a new or different way to start an iv or a new procedure for whatever my...

  11. HELP! Threats to call BON!

    Mommavik replied to Nechic01's topic in General Nursing

    Don't let yourself put the blame for this all on yourself- talk to your Co workers that you have a former room mate who is making threats; you might be surprised how much support you get as well as...

  12. HELP! Threats to call BON!

    Mommavik replied to Nechic01's topic in General Nursing

    Be proactive-talk with your local police, file a report if you can, keep any texts, voice mails etc. that he has left you; check with a lawyer; some cities have legal aid you can use and/or many...

  13. HELP! Threats to call BON!

    Mommavik replied to Nechic01's topic in General Nursing

    Have someone else listen in while you talk with him then; check with an attorney whether it is illegal if you are the one being called (domestic violence division also is a good resource for...

  14. HELP! Threats to call BON!

    Mommavik replied to Nechic01's topic in General Nursing

    Also, don't rely on him giving your key back-invest the money and have all locks changed for your own safety. I would call the BON myself or have your lawyer do so; I agree with the poster who...

  15. Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Mommavik replied to EmpoweRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree; I know I weigh more than I should at my height but I will never be one who is at a perfect weight for my height; my problem was not overeating or lack of exercise; hormonal problems relating...

  16. I am not proud of my track record.

    Mommavik replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    The thing that worries me is charting meds or treatments as being done which you did not do; I've been in that position working in a nursing home with way too many patients to give meds and do...

  17. So what's going to happen to health care now?

    Mommavik replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    As a disabled nurse on SS disability, I found that my costs sound very reasonable until you take into account that by the time I pay my absolutely necessary expenses (rent, car payment, utilities,...

  18. Only Crusty Old Bats will remember..

    Mommavik replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    I started nursing in the early 80's; we had some metal bed pans in the"old"wing but plastic disposable ones everywhere else; glass iv bottles for some med but main one I remember was for TPN and...

  19. I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    Mommavik replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    Been there with ya! I'm no longer working due to disability but that was my biggest complaint also; we at there to care for our patients (not"clients"as some hospitals want to name them) and we cannot...

  20. They should be force to retire

    Mommavik replied to apnurserock's topic in Retired Nurses

    Yeah it's not easy to do; I can do self care but financially I can't keep track of what needs to be paid, whether it was paid, unless I can pay it as soon as the bill comes in. And on disability my...

  21. Subtle deterioration on the floor

    Mommavik replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree! I've seen this again and again; trying to make rounds and assess my patients before doing my 1st med rounds, if my 3rd patient needs to talk to me to express her worry about what the...

  22. Being called an idiot

    Mommavik replied to historylovinglpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Last place I worked had a policy the DR had to have the consent signed when he explained the procedure to the patient; they all knew this and the nurse had no responsibility to get the consent signed....

  23. How old is too old to safely practice?

    Mommavik replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks, Jules; I went in thinking "OK, even if my body gets to where I can't do the physical part of nursing, there are many other ways to still be a hands on nurse but I didn't count on my mind...

  25. got fired/terminated

    Mommavik replied to YesYesRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Not allowed to ask employer if you were terminated; they get around that by asking"would you rehire this person" That answer kind of tells the
