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.

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?   

She didn't make a simple mistake, like you did.  She was reckless and negligent.  Were you negligent? This was adjudicated already to be much more than a simple mistake.  It's sad that you are unable to process that.

Can you please go and read the documents and then come back? Because the fact that you describe this as a med error makes me think you haven't read or heard an accurate account.

For those who would like to see the primary sources:

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Report

CMS Report

Board of Nursing Hearing Day 1

Board of Nursing Hearing Day 2

@Do_Good, please take advantage of these primary sources directly from the investigation and BON hearings. It is eye opening compared to all of the other pieces out there that go beyond just the facts into opinion or fear mongering that now all medication errors carry a risk of prosecution.

Many of us have, and reported, regardless of consequence, because its the right thing to do. She was not going to report it, even after blowing through multiple warnings, until another nurse found her error and told her to report it or she (the nurse who did catch it) would. This was openly admitted and documented in the proceedings. To me, this is not someone who is remorseful or who has learned from their mistake

Which one of those system errors she claimed caused the event prevent her from reading the label on the vial of medication?

Again, which one of those system errors prevented her from reading the label on the vial of medication?

It's not always the system.

Nobody lashed out at you. All of these things you have posted have been posted before. We've read them. Most are opinion pieces, ALL of them omit pertinent facts or just simply get them dead wrong.

So many have negatively commented on my previous post.  I refuse to lash out but respond with facts. 

Maybe that's because you couldn't support your statement as fact

You "refuse to lash out" but pouting seems fine

fwiw you shared a bunch of press releases from nursing orgs singing from the same hymnal

which pathway makes sense to you?

Your "research" seems to have avoided all of the actual facts of her negligence in the case preferring opinion instead.  You're going to get pushback for that for obvious reasons.

These articles have nothing to do with the relevant facts of the case.  Someone's opinion is not factual.

You don't say you are a nurse so I'm attaching the 1935 revised version of the Nightingale Pledge in case you never heard of it:

I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practise my profession faithfully.
I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug.
I will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standard of my profession and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my calling.
With loyalty will I aid the physician in his work, and as a missioner of health, I will dedicate myself to devoted service for human welfare.[1]

See where it says "I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug?"  Back in the day, we recited this at our  at our pinning ceremony and we took it seriously.  It is a huge violation of our code of ethics to give a patient a med without reading the label.
