re: Thoughts on the RaDonda Vaught (nurse convicted of negligent homicide) trial?

I think you're going to see a lot of pushback by nurses, because they don't want that level of oversight. Well, I'm sorry, but when it comes to drug administration, you need to be a responsible person. You're the one pushing the med, not the doctor. You need to be aware of what you're giving. If it's a sedative, like Versed, you at least need to monitor the patient at some basic level.

She didn't even do that. She gave the wrong drug, and then ignored them. That kind of shite is criminal. There's things that could have been done to save that person. It isn't like the moment she gave it, they died. There's a lapse of basic patient care that happened there.

Yeah, there's going to be nurses that refuse to do their jobs now. I'm sorry, but frick you nurses. If you're going to pretend like this could happen to anybody, then you're a piece of shite. This isn't something that just happens. It's gross negligence, and it should be punished.
