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.

She is human and she has to regain some ability to cope with this tragedy without going completely crazy that she has to be institutionalized.

Just to be clear I don't think any of us want her to be harmed in any way. I know I don't. Despite my feelings about her actions as a nurse and as a person I also didn't think jail time was necessary. I just wish she had gone a different direction with her behavior.

White nurses, really? I think I'm not engaging you any more.

in poker, that's what's called 'a tell'

I wasn't sure what you were trying to with this either, and did not see how this was applicable.

Can you clarify? I am responding to this thread to express my opinion that Ms Vaught's post-verdict and sentencing activities do not in any way bother me as I am not preoccupied with how she carries on. I don't have control of her actions. I believe she is remorseful and perhaps even still suffering inside, no one can honestly assess that but her therapist and I hope she has  a good one. I also appreciated the chance to see her speak in her own words about her experience on a couple of videos.

racism in nursing is definitely a thing - even ANA admits it

if the former nurse found guilty of neglect and abuse was a Black nurse this thread would not even exist because nobody would have heard about the case because it wouldn't have gone to trial and instead they would have been pressured into taking a plea and serving time on a reduced charge

also too if this had been a Black nurse Mrs Murphey would still be alive because if you have any Black colleagues they will tell you there's no way they could even think about being so sloppy because their every action is scrutinized so closely

80% of RNs are white and 89% are women - if nursing was a top 100 college of university here's how it would rank with regard to diversity

Before the mods intervene, I would like to propose that we stick to the topic of the thread. I apologize if I broke the rule as well to make a point. The thread raises concerns about Ms Vaught's post sentencing activities and whether she is profiting from her mistake. We have threads that already went into detail about her actions and the consequences including the legal proceedings that followed. Topics such as racism in nursing is very important and as a minority nurse myself, I am active in DEI programs at my institution despite some individuals who do not agree that this concept belongs in the workplace.

To put the thread in perspective, when I was looking into Ms Vaught's case, I did a lot of research on similar cases and found that very few led to criminal charges. The case in FL which was very similar to Ms Vaught never went to criminal court but rightfully was trialed in civil court. I don't know what happened to that nurse other than the RN license is also no longer active.

I am reminded of Julie Thao an ex-RN who had tons of experience in OB and was even an educator in the unit. She committed a grave mistake that led to the death of a young woman whose baby did not get a chance to know their mother:  The Case of the Mistaken Injection. Julie was also trialed in criminal court and sentenced as a criminal but was later dropped.

Julie also did speaking engagements but she does not have much of an internet presence but I found her on a YouTube video and watched it. I gained some perspective from her experience hearing from her in the video. I understand some people would think it is unnecessary for her to speak.

That seems to be happening since an update in the allnurses system. I actually knew you were not referring to me based on your response but just wanted to clarify. No apologies needed🙂
