Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

Published

Or, $7,500 if you just want her virtually. Good to know that negligent homicide is such a lucrative endeavor.

I understand that we all have a different approach to the facts. Some are global. Some polarized. 

despite facts...keirkegard is correct.

"REALITY IS SUBJECTIVITY "

 

I am involved in research and statistical analysis regarding this very thing (medical deaths, errors, negligence). including forensics. 

And no, I'm not able to relay specifics of classified information, so questions will continue to be ignored. 

All I will say is, be very careful with your research.  Thinking there is only a handful of criminal negligence cases regarding medical deaths is inaccurate...,  and spreading inaccuracies is  incredibly  dangerous. 

Just culture is largely absent in this thread. 

I am not protecting RV. I am not protecting the system.  

It confuses me to see these responses. I have been questioned aggressively about my nursing practice.  To what end?

We a know RV F'D up to the highest magnitude. 

Thinking humans are infallible to same is astounding.  We are humans. Not robots. 

The whole thing is devastating. 

if we prosecilute one...they all get charged..and I understand exactly how very many would be charged. 5 is a joke.

I am a 20 year veteran. Including ICU, ER, NEUROTRAUMA, MED SURG, LTAC, LTC, STR, HH. RESEARCH,  WOUND CARE, 

***EXPERT WITNESS AND FORENISIC NURSING. 

There is an expression that fits here...

"You can't make a blind man see orange."

 

Live gently, embrace others,  have compassion.  In all directions.  Charlene, her family,  RV, all hospital systems that failed, and human beings. Everyone. This includes nurses that say that this could happen to anyone....

So with  the decision to attack in this thread..., think about the fact that no one knows what the other nurse has seen,  experienced, and lived. Maybe it's time to accept our general lack of knowledge about other situations. Put our fingers down. and think. Deeply.

✌ 

 

 

That you know of.

Respectfully, I genuinely hope you approach your expert testimony and forensic nursing  with significantly more attention to detail than your demonstrated lack of understanding in the Vaught case.  There is literally nothing subjective about the errors that she made which led to the death of her patient.

Of course she characterizes her negligence and complete lack of safety standards as medical error. She isn't responsible, it was just a mistake. 

What a bunch of baloney.

I wonder if she's donating the proceeds to the family of the patient she killed, you know, because she's so repentant and kind.

I think you can let us know of the convictions you know of...that doesn't seem like privileged information. 
 

There are individual aspects of this case that many if not most of us could identify with (for example, ADC not appearing to behave as it should...can't find med supposedly already profiled. Or needing to legitimately override a med) but I just don't think RV's defenders/apologists are acknowledging that the number and sequence of missteps here is beyond a single simple issue such as  having used override or used when one didn't actually need to. 

This is a case of MANY independently dangerous, reckless actions; even the situation itself called for PAUSE, yet there does not appear to have been any pause whatsoever, even after oddities/red flags should have been apparent. No pause for planning the monitoring (surveillance) that would be needed in an unmonitored area, no serious pause upon struggling to find the med on the profile, no trying it by its other (generic) name, no pause to find the word "VERSED" once "VE" was entered,  no pause for label reading, no pause for the different appearance of the med/vial or its attached warning, no pause for the sudden need to reconstitute a med that doesn't usually require reconstitution (which should have made ANY one of use STOP immediately), no pause to monitor patient response to medication—which includes not even monitoring for *therapeutic* effect (she had a range order and might have needed to give more if the amount she gave wasn't sufficient for the patient) let alone untoward effect, no planning whether the timing of med administration would be adequate for the timing of the procedure, no plan to check even a simple set of vitals. 

You seem satisfied with your own experience and expertise in nursing, so the question is, is THAT how *you* operate? I'm almost certain it isn't.  I know I do not operate that way.

Can we leave her well alone and stop resurrecting her for want of something better to discuss?

It's the most convenient narrative for modern nursing, otherwise that whole "most trusted profession" thing starts looking shaky - this was a BSN prepared nurse at a major prestige academic medical center that's been certified magnet(tm) for 20 years +/-, supposed to be the best of the best etc

it's not a good look

Not as long as she keeps giving us reason to have discussions about her. You can scroll past if they bother you.

Maybe you didn't notice that she's offering seminars ... she's resurrecting herself.

 based off medical error deaths per annum...

Then we have at least 200,000 PLUS  physicians,  surgeons,  nurses etc to criminalize every year.

Our legal system will capsize with the strain. Let's see what happens .

Yikes. 

If the board of nursing had of done more than waive a wet bus ticket near her wrist IMO it would never have gone to criminal charges. 

I'm more concerned about a BON who says to a nurse like RV "na you're all good, keep going"

Try clicking on the next thread, 

Its novel I know there is more than one discussion going on.

When she keeps popping her head up and demonstrating that she learned nothing fromo her mistake, its worth it to discuss
