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.

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

I suspect some of these posts are nursing students, fulfilling an assignment regarding nurse ethics. It's happened before on this site. Perhaps they an assigned article that is short on facts and are opining on what they have read.

I just can't understand how a nurse could make that many serious errors at one time. I wonder what kind of stress she was under, or what was really going on in her head. It's scary and makes me think if it happened to her, could it happen to me. When giving meds,  we really need to concentrate and not allow distractions. Also we need to keep supporting each other and not allow  for a toxic work environment which could be a major distraction.

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, …………..

RaDonda?  Is that you?

What about the facts of this case make you think she was over burdened or stressed to the point of critical error?

It's definitely something to think about

Never seen a nurse just stop caring and treat their job flippantly and lose respect for the importance of the little things? 

I see it nearly on a daily basis in my specialty. Only difference is that in RV's case the dice rolled the wrong way and there was a poor outcome and that poor outcome gained attention.

It's something a person high on drugs would do.  That's how they usually get caught at work...doing something extraordinarily out of the ordinary.

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

IMO feeling that RVs defenders need a reminder of what her careless negligence cost

That's what I'm guessing too, because like I was saying before I just can't imagine an error like this happening, Beyond careless, Even a super high level of stress, I would think would not be the cause. But who really knows.

I was just trying to imagine was it a high level of stress, which is very hard to even imagine.

In her own testimony she denied being rushed, tired or stressed. In fact, her unit was so over-staffed she didn't even have an assignment and was functioning as a resource nurse (ie: help-all, supernumerary, float-on her own unit, extra). To be clear she was not floated to another unit.
