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.

You are right!  This  is something I do automatically but had forgotten that my wonderful nursing instructors in ancient times emphasized never doing anything else.  

That's what I do too. I'm wondering if the scanning process dummy's down thew process. I'm not sure but I have sensed it when giving meds, but know that I can't deviate from the correct way of checking meds before giving them to the patient.

I don't think you're wrong. Although I understand the need for this type of technology  I sometimes feel it has become a crutch for lazy nursing. It favors taking short cuts and reliance on machines not our own brains which are infinitely smarter.

I don't think Radonda should be profiting off a death she caused. It's sickening.

I'd love to see the profits go to Ms Murphy's family

? No one ever claimed she was making money on You Tube.  She did organize a cruise in addition to collect from speaking directly to nurses.  A frickin' cruise!

Your comment made me Google this cruise. The cost is $2,499 per person excluding international flight. It's on the lower end of the actual cost of a 7-day Costa Rica cruise. Not all slots were full and this one-time event is now done and over with. It was not billed as a speaking engagement either.

I believe the fee is a suggestion by the company who she books through and is "up to 10k"

Why does anyone assume its strictly for money? She has valuable input for nursing community and the abuse my admin. Management. Perhaps people can learn what signs to look for that's not a safe environment.  People who kill people in drunk driving accidents speak to youth in hs. Etc. She admitted her mistake. Yes it was tragic. Nurses are so contradictory.  Try having some compassion for others. Too much like burn her at the stake mentality. 

I agree!   She is helping by educating others.    I've added an article that describes what she talks about.    Also another by NIH about the incident

I've made medication administration errors twice and thankfully without fatality.  I reported both times and received instruction from the provider.   How many nurses in this community have made errors.  One of my instructors in nursing school said she made an error and her patient died.  She didn't get fired or lose her license.  She spoke at all staff meetings about it...

She works for an organization which probably set her fee which other organizations are willing to pay.    I have made medication errors twice. (without fatal consequences).   How many in this community have?

Mrs Charlene Murphy's death was the result of negligence and abuse, as evidenced by a jury's verdict after reviewing the facts and receiving instruction in the law

the term "medication error" denies the facts and actions that caused Mrs Murphey's death

your narrative is emotional subjective speculation

it's also contrary to nursing ethics, competent practice and the concept of "just culture"
