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

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

She did Charlene Murphy and her family wrong.

This could have been prevented if she'd read the label of the medication

I don't understand the relevance of posting this Obit we all know what a great loss this was for the family.

An obituary, not a resume. Charlene Murphy is the woman who died when Vaught chose to ignore basic medication safety.

NurseGerard can speak for himself about what he intended. What I got was the fact that Vaught is not the victim here.

While I would agree that most of us understand, based on some of their posts, there are a few here that just don't get it.

I took it as a means to point out who the actual victim was in this situation given the hand-wringing and complaints of the "victimization" of RV by some of the posters here.

Mrs Charlene Murphey was a real person with family and friends who loved her, and this wasn't just a great loss for the folks who knew her

Her death was the result of unimaginably sloppy careless negligent reckless decisions by a former nurse - and "...not the conduct of competent, reasonable prudent nurse" - ADA in closing rebuttal

This and the continued dodges and rationalizations by nurses and orgs is a great loss for patients, families, communities and nursing

Especially some of these accounts that are brand new with very little post history that seem to revolve the same basic topic...

It's a common occurrence here, especially during presidential election cycles.  There's always at least one new member who gets stuck in the politics forum. Their rhetoric is generally very boiler plate agitator fare. The kind of sad and sophomoric content you see in FB or reddit comments.

The hospital did this nurse so wrong. Yes, she should have called pharmacy to verify the medication, that was sent to be administered to  the patient, that was not a type med that is used in the department Rhonda worked. It was paralytic medication. There were a lot of hands involved. Least not forget the amount of bullying that goes on in nursing, I'm sure she felt afraid to speak up, and because of the medical error a patient lost their life. But don't be so quick to crucify her, this could have happened to anyone. She did not act in malice, and she should have received more support than what she was given. This is one of the ugliest scenarios/fall outs a nurse can ever experience, and I'm quite sure she felt alone during this ordeal. That's why it's so important to do due diligence because your license is on the line no matter what. This woman loss her Nursing license, how is she wrong for making an incoming informing other nurses about what she went through and how what happened to the patient could have been avoided? I'm sure anyone who has been in nursing long enough has experience an event where a patient received the wrong med, even though the patient did not die or have an negative outcome,upon discovery of the medication error, the panic and worry that nurses go through is very telling. Imagine taking care of a patient and that patient died because of an medication error. I'm sure this woman was terrified and was stressed out because of this situation. She went to trail, was found guilty, and had her license revoked. She still has to live. She has to share her experience with others so that this won't happen to another patient or another nurse. Nurses are thrown so quickly under the bus, when there's so many hands involved in each patients unique care.

No
