@@anyaskirko3201 mistakes happen. It’s easy to have your perspective and be angry, but it takes a lot of empathy to realize that anyone could’ve done that by accident. She did not intentionally kill her.

⁠@@anyaskirko3201uh…. Huh? The strength of forgiving is incredibly moving for some. Not weird at all… it is more so that you would find that weird.

Imagine every time you try to get any kind of medication even if it’s just an aspirin or a bag of regular saline you have to hit an emergency override button. That system is clearly supposed to be for suspected medication errors or high risk drugs but instead it was flashing on everything so they had alarm fatigue regarding the system. They knew damn well they had a problem and they didn’t face it or fix it. Be loud with your complaints folks. Be persistent. write that incident report be detailed be objective. Make sure they know that you are worried about safety. It probably won’t do much in the long-haul but at least it happens you’ll have the legal means to say I told you so.

⁠@@anyaskirko3201 this is an egregious error, yes, but imagine every time you go to get any kind of medication whether it’s an aspirin or a bag of fluids, you have a obnoxious warning that flashes across the screen that is definitely a mistake, and should not sound for every medication. So when something is actually wrong, you don’t notice it because that message pops up every time and I mean every single time you get anything. Not when you pull medication that has similar sounding names to high risk drugs. Not when you’re in a cart that is stocked differently than normal. Not when something that is not ordered for the patient has been pulled. No every single time. You ignore that alarm. That is just one small detail. this computerized system that dispenses medication’s was stocked with different drugs than the normal meds. And if I’m not mistaken, she was in an area of the hospital she did not normally work, which is something that nurses are constantly told they have to do even if it makes them uncomfortable because they’re scared they’re going to mess up.this hospital is sadly one of the best in Tennessee if not the nation and yet look at the things they are doing. Imagine other hospitals.

is that all, coming from a Nurse like you. WTF

We’ll said I think your 100 💯 percent right , something weird about it

Yeah, I have been reading these comments all night to understand the nurse perspective. My aunt was a nurse and now a doctor. Some of them are nice but my aunt was always talking bad about clients and breaking HIPAA. There are so many protocols to follow, it seems, and there must also be an ethics code, I'm sure. Preventative protocols should be implemented.

With diabetics check their blood sugar readings before giving insulin more than size of patient I do it four xs a day for over5oyrs and I'm short and average weight with mody and been in hospitals on drip and administer my own jabs but if unable too my blood sugar needs checking before any one should jab me and I'm most grateful to nursing staff that have looked after me over many hospital stays AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL

I think every nurse has come across this sort of thing I remember a doc writing up a prescription for high blood pressure when in fact the patient suffered from low blood pressure what was interesting was the drugs from both high and low blood pressure only differed by a couple of letters in the spelling, they sounded very similar, this could have potentially killed the patient, it was the nursing staff who got the flack as the drug prescribed had been given by two previous shifts, the doc was never pulled up on it, says it all really.

12 hour shifts are the bonus of the job. What are you smoking?!?

hopefully not crack!

@@Schaferhund1 stop trolling and go on about your day weirdo. You probably smoke crack and aren’t even a nurse 🙄😂😂

12 hour shifts are not the problem here. It's not having breaks or help when needed that's bad.

Good to know you were more worried about the ALIVE killer than the dead patient.

I hope if ever faced with a situation like that I have that level of integrity. I’m assuming that was her daughter. She raised a class act for a daughter.

i HOPE you realize that the opinion of the deceased's family shouldnt be allowed to dictate a sentence.

It's so easy for someone who doesn't work in the medical field to say. We are all human. Do you really think she doesn't think about that daily? There are so many doctors in this world who are willing to put so many people at risk or even kill them for money. Medical reps giving doctors faulty items and practicing techniques that are unsafe and do not work. Not one damn doctor has served time in jail. They still have a license and are still practicing. As this nurse took responsibility for her mistake. It was not 100 her fault. There were so many mistakes in the hospital that led to this tragedy.

I just wonder if the nurse looked a little different, if they’d still forgive her.

Sure. Real courageous. I'm sure the family hired a lawyer, sued the hospital, and benefited financially from the nurse's negligence on top of life insurance policies from a 75 year old woman. So courageous and brave to forgive.

She saw a huge red warning on the bottle and still gave it to the patient,

Exactly. As a nurse myself I can tell you if this hospital doesn't fix this issue it will happen again. You should never be able to override that frequently.

You are exactly right! I have several nurses and others working in the medical field in my family, and this is terrifying because humans are imperfect. We make mistakes. I don’t feel as though she should have been charged with homicide at all. Held accountable in some other way, yes. Convicted, no.

If you want to help, ask about the bills we're trying to get passed through Congress for safe staffing ratios and criminal charges for violence against healthcare workers.

@@user-mz8zu6np9ga nurse can actually save lives by checking an error. Sometimes doctors move fast or are distracted and order things that a patient actually doesn’t need.

@@youubik What about airline pilot error or those on a suicide mission. My grandmother was run over by the bus as she exit it I'm from Philly our mass transit system has no other competitors just Septa.

The bus driver was fired and of course we got some money for our grandmother but I love and miss her. I don't know if you have worked as a nurse if not volunteer at a hospital and believe me it 50% of documentation and 50% of doing the task By the way nurses are the largest employee of any hospital. You don't think nurses are exempt from punishment. I have one for you a nurse impregnate a vegetative patient. His name is Nathan Sutherland who is now an ex nurse but will be found guilty because this was an deliberate act and he will go to prison. You know who else I hold responsible is why anyone else in her care didn't recognize her not menstrual cycle and her belly. Also why wasn't the doctor assigned to her see her. You need a doctor's order to transfer a patient from long-term facility to the hospital.

Only another nurse can emphasize with you. I have been a nurse for 20 years and mistakes like this are rare. I don't know if you are new but I have told people who are in nursing school to focus on your education and passing your boards. I am disabled and people are saying that the newer nurses care more than the older ones. I tell them guess what new nurse get off the floors and they are advanced Nursing as a NP, Midwifery Educator and Nurse Anesthesiologist. SO be cautious not fearful and good luck.

Not myself or you or anyone else that you know, who grinds it out in the hospital or recently retired from it, had any idea that we’d be running into a burning 🔥 house because any time we enter the hospital, we run into a burning house.

There’s no one there to help bail all that water out of a rapidly sinking dingy so yeah… things happen ok? I get that. But a little bit of supportive reassurance from HR never hurt anybody.

A whole life was taken

I've been following this case for years And I read the entire 56 page cms investigation. it's my it's my understanding that every nurse at Vanderbilt was having to override medications all day long during that time period. So if every nurse followed the rules exactly and didn't override any medications, then nobody would've gotten their medications and lots of people would have probably died. Even if their system was functioning properly, there are legitimate reasons to override. Remember, the override function exists for a reason. It's used fairly frequently. I'm just saying it's a very complex situation and override in itself isn't the problem.

@@jennakhivkapratt8751 Thank you for the information😊 I’m just curious though, if that’s the case then what is the point of the override function? Was it meant for the nurses to wait for a doctor’s approval? I don’t understand that

@@princessangerloo5905 good question. The normal process is provider (MD, DO, NP, PA etc) order, pharmacist checks it out and clears it then it will show up in the medication machine under the patient's profile.... If everything works properly and pharmacy is adequately staffed. You need an order to give the medication but not necessarily to obtain it. Imagine you're a patient in the hospital and the antibiotic you were just given made your blood pressure drop and break out in hives (a reaction). You call the nurse who contacts the doctor. The doctor orders IV benadryl. It's urgent and you can't wait until the pharmacist gets around it. You can't wait for the Nurse to troubleshoot a problem in the system. The nurse would have obtained that benadryl while still on the phone with the provider most likely. She gives you the benadryl and monitors your blood pressure. The list of what's available on override is reviewed by committees regularly and it is limited. Unfortunately sedatives and paralytics both need to be on the override list in an ICU. Vanderbilt had just changed their whole computer system and apparently it wasn't talking to the medication machine properly. It's a terrible situation and Radonda is accountable but Vanderbilt is also and they tried to cover it up.

Unfortunately the vast majority of the public aren't nurses, and they don't care. After covid I have zero faith or respect for the public.

Maybe now the doctors will pick up the slack

She deserves prison

They are hurt but realize this wasn't intentional. My grandmother lost her leg to a transit bus driver. While I was angry my grandmother said on her final days on this earth, it was an accident and I forgive the driver. So I felt if she could forgive then so shall. I believe that the family in this case knew their loved one ❤️. I used to be a Registered Nurse for 20 years and I am disabled now so you have to provide safe care. Alot of changes are going to happen in Healthcare because a result of understaffed has been an issue with nursing for years. I feel bad for everyone involved.

I teach nurses for a living. They consist of some of the best people I have ever met. And because of that, I agree, people abuse them. It is absolutely heartbreaking the amount of shift work, drama, and more they have to take from everyone (outside of patients who can make it rough).

What do you do now ? You worked so hard to go to nursing school

me too

it wasnt for you then. go do something else

as a sick person whose been around a lot of nurses i both have a lot of respect for them and im terrified of them. because i have been on the other side of a nurses mistake a few times, and they arent always gracious like this woman. that being said i know that nurses are worked into the ground and the entire medical field operates horribly within capitalism. i would never dream of blaming a nurse for a systemic issue. all i ever hear in every hospital i am in is how they dont have enough staff, they have been working for 10-15-20 hours.... for everyones sake from nurses to patients, that needs to stop

Yes. Because too many times nurses are expected take on too many patients.

What? 🤔 why do you think that the hospital should be held accountable for one of their employees mistake? I’m trying to understand your logic but I just can’t

@@Materialgirl_3 Pharmacy should have received an alert as soon as the drug was removed and contacted the nurse and the doctor to verify and to provide respiratory support to the patient. BIG system FAILURE.

But mistakes that do not kill are not reviewed for criminal negligence. I was a nurse & needed my gallbladder out. These nurses mocked me. Anaphylaxis ER heart hospital saved my life but office staff, nurses & some weirdo “case managers” none medical refused follow up. Those nurses and office staff retaliated. 12-3-2011 to date that anaphylaxis not followed up 8-31-2022 is proof how disgustingly neglected and maliciously terrorized! Sorry she feels justices in her error.

Well I have been a nurse for 20 years. 1998-2019 I had to stop due to my disability. Listen I worked at several places and a situation like this is rare. Right now you are in nursing school I think right now you need to focus on your education and passing your boards. Once you finish these tasks you will be so happy you will forget this incident.Medication errors are the most common mistakes that nurses make.I will tell you that being a new nurse you would be oriented for a long time every hospital is different. I will tell you if you are ready to give out your medication. Do not be distracted. Sometimes a relative may do this. Unless it's not an emergency be polite and say I will be with you in a moment.Focus on your medication remember the 5 rights that they teach you in nursing school. Make sure your patient has the correct ID bracelet and medication. I know they have scanning system to prevent medication errors. While some people like it but an old head like me hated because I thought it was time consuming but you have to follow protocol. I tell any brand new nurse don't be in a rush to get a job in nursing as a nurse intern. Get your license 1st that job isn't going no where. Follow your policy and don't be afraid to ask questions. Also if you are asked a question and don't know the answer it's OK to say I'm not sure but I will find out for you. Sometimes stating outloud not screaming what you are about to do so you are aware of what you are doing. Even labs draws have been a mistake. Usually the technicians are responsible for this depending. where you work. I know at my former job I never had my blood type and screen before. The lab will process my level however because I never had type and screen the lab department will require a different person to draw my blood for a proper comparison. Be cautious not fearful good luck

@@kimking5928 you are welcome my niece is a new nurse also so I try to give her advice.

Why cannot an algorithm and a computer do the calculations and with safeguards built in before it gets to the nurse's hands? Why do you as a nurse have to make the calculations?

@@e.t.ethics1771 I am reviewing the video over again and you are asking a different question not your fault. The medication scan did tell her the medication was wrong, however it has done this to correct medication example a laxative and we have to scan it 3 X or some nurse will seek another nurse to check if it is OK. I don't know what nursing schools are doing now and some nursing positions will mandated that you pass a medication test. I will try to answer your question the computer does nursing calculations for the nurse for example a heparin drip based on your Ptt lab level it will correct the rate and before scanning and changing the rate another nurse has to check your changes as it's written. My issue here is she is a new nurse herself why is she orientating an new nurse.She is working on a very critical floor. She graduated school 2017 then she gets her license she has to prepare to take this test. Most nurse graduates it takes 2 months for the passing a license. Ok this new nurse is planning to go to ICU neuro well in alot of cases you have to work a step down unit before ICU. Then once you get on ICU unit a new nurse will be able to work by themselves 3-6 months. Ok she is still new nurse and she has to orient,another nurse and she allows her self to be distracted by another nurse determine if the medication is correct and it's not. No matter what steps nurses take you will always be blamed. Why? Because you are the one who is actually administering the medication and in this case outcome was tragic. I think what will happen is the pharmacy will have to remove the medication out of the nurse's reach.( the medication that is considered dangerous). Unfortunately if you kill someone you will get fired and probably lose your license to practice. I hope I was able to answer your question.

That’s what i thought too. Like did she even read the bottle ? I’m in the medical and give injections all the time and i make sure I read that vial more than once and check the chart to make sure after I’ve drawn the meds just to check one last time.

Agree. She skipped every safeguard, and besides skipping the 3 checks and 7 patient rights of medication administration, she apparently didn't even recognize the drug form! Inexcusable!

I agree, I worked ICU for 10 years. Versed comes in a tiny brown bottle. Vercuronium is in a medium size bottle that has to be made into a liquid. One never ever gives Vercuonium without giving versed or MS as you don't want the patient to be paralyzed and conscious. So as you are mixing Vercuronium you are also getting versed or MS ready to give. Vercuronium is only ever given to someone on a vent. When I was with a nurse on orientation I was always walking and talking my thoughts to the nurse in training. But this was a mistake and the hospital needs to be held accountable for not having a better system.

Go take several seats. It bully know it all so called critical care nurses like you that make the profession horrible. Shut up!!!

Systemic errors is what the findings was.

I believe certain states have done that, I think one that I read about was CA but the hospital lobbyists have so much more $ and power

Absolutely! I worked in long-term care for 15 years and I will say that 75% of all staff had absolutely NO business being around the elderly, the sick or the vulnerable. I pity anyone in a health crisis who doesn’t have an advocate to keep tabs on them and their care.

This is so true beyond belief

I think all nurses are overworked. When depressed and burned out, there is no energy to have empathy.

I am sorry for your experience and I used to be a nurse for 20 years. I will,agree that we eat our young hell we even admit amongst ourselves. I have worked with some great nurses meaning teamwork. For example if your tasks are done and you see someone drowning you ask that person do you help. I have been a victim of when you have to go to another floor sometimes you might get the patients that are the worst. It's OK you did what was best for you. Leadership is from management to the more senior nurses. Nursing can be toxic at times but rest assured if a patient is in serious trouble all hands are on board. Sometimes we have birthday parties baby showers Pollyanna last day of work or retirement parties. Most places are not union like Temple University Hospital they are the highest paid and they have a kick ass union. Good luck in your profession

Yes, she seems genuinely sorry & distraught over her very human mistake. The family being warm & forgiving of her fatal error is honorable. These are examples of our good hearted people on earth.

@@mysweetnessc6784 Agree

I feel you as a former CNA. The lack of staffing is so horrible, not fair to the patients or the nurse aides.

I too worked at a nursing home while in college. It's the only job I've ever walked out on - for the exact same reasons you've listed. The day before I quit I reported seeing another aid slap a patient multiple times because the patient wasn't cooperating with being dressed. The next day that aid was still working there. It infuriated me. The Director of Nursing had the audacity to ask me, "Don't you care about the patients?" as I walked out when I quit. I told her I did, then asked her if she did. I reported the facility to the state and within 6 months they were shut down. The experience deeply affected the way my parents were taken care of as seniors, my brother or I visited daily and kept a close eye on everything that happened to our parents. I'm sure the staff was put out with us, but the one time we caused a problem for them our mother was going into congestive heart failure after open heart surgery as the staff tried to tell us she was just "tired". I have great sympathy for seniors who have no one looking out for them. I am sure many deaths happen in nursing homes due to plain old negligence.

Nurse accidentally kills someone- homicide Actor shoots someone- It was just an accident.

I worked in NICU, it's probably the most stressful modality in nursing. You certainly are not the only one. Every transfusion was terrifying.

in FL at least, blood transfusions need more than 1 nurse to approve this to ensure this doesn't happen! maybe we do the same with pharmaceutical medications in addition to the 3 checks

That's exactly why we do need policies in place to ensure two or three people are signing off on a decision and it never all falls on just one person. It's not just to protect the nurses but to protect patient lives.

@@jasonkushner8577Exactly

Don't do it

Prayers everyday.

Me too

Pray about it. There are still some rewards in nursing but learn from this story and allow it to motivate you to be a great nurse

Agreed

That's what my father says: "they're just there. They have no real passion or care for people. It's all over their demeanor consistently, that they're only there, but not in it in their hearts" I totally believe you. A CNA changed my mother's gown, and left her naked in the cold, waiting for minutes, without even finding a sheet for her, all because she "thought the replacement gown" was there with them. She didn't think to just put the old gown back on her. When I asked her to not handle it this way in the future, even tho she really thought the new gown was there, SHE YELLED AT ME. TWICE. for not being OK that my mother was left naked and in the cold and Uncovered!! She made it a bigger issue by feeling the need to YELL at me over her own mistake!!! Ive seen the sh****** ppl not be fired from hospitals.

@@catsberry4858 Yes. They keep the toxic ones and I’m sure she was one of them who needed to be humbled!!!

yes Brittany Shea and those were once weeded out, they are not anymore

Can't be that passionate if you're making that mistake.

I bet you do. What about patients who pay huge amounts of money to receive a decent medical service and put their lives literally in the doctors' and nurses' hands. It is a sad situation but we are talking about responsibility and accountability. A person is dead because she was given the wrong drug. Who is responsible? Who is accountable? That's the fact. The overwork, the long hours, the lack of personnel are mitigating factors for a less severe sentence but they cannot be used to absolve the person responsible for this death.

The hospital should have been charged with murder

@@marivipalomino6975 I get what you're saying and respect your opinion. But ultimately, Mrs. Murphy's family didn't think it fair to have RaDonda imprisoned. She did not deny her culpability at all. That wasn't what was in question. It was clear from the beginning she is the one who made the mistake. The question behind the case was was she the only one culpable. The trial's conclusion revealed the truth - no, she wasn't. As for RaDonda "paying", anyone can clearly see, she's a sensitive individual and will "pay" for the rest of her life. Just because she's not in a physical prison doesn't mean she is not "paying". And in the end, the Murphy family forgave the nurse. They are the only one's whose opinions truly matter. They knew she was not malicious, unrepentant or even trying to deny responsibility. She's a human-being. Unfortunately, we as humans can make one life-changing and tragic mistake. I pray we can all find compassion and mercy when we need it. Thankfully the Murphy family was able to look beyond their pain and find forgiveness and compassion.

Uhhh mistake? Did you see all the "mistakes" she had to make ALL TOGETHER to make the BIG one? The number is 18. Count to 18. I can't fathom how she isn't in jail right now.

@@deedeebel1 So you are telling me legally here bad company policy here supersedes liability for personal negligence within that policy? I'm shocked the law works like that, just think of any common sense scenario and the worker saying "just following policy."

@Mike Perone criminal. Absolutely criminal. And soulless. So sad.

But the black dude that killed 2 white Boys trying to rob him got 10 years but she get off scoot free

So because she was fuking tired, it’s okay that she ignore multiple warnings call someone to lose their life.?! You don’t mean to kill someone but you accidentally do and you get charged with manslaughter but you’re not a “nurse” so you should go to jail right? But not her ??

All nurses work 12 hrs if u tired call in facts

I'm a nurse, we knew what we were signing up for when we started clinicals. If you can't handle it, then QUIT! If you think being tired is an excuse for being negligent and killing someone? You're off your rocker.

this is why i never made it as a nurse. Way too much of a responsibility.

@@eliadavis3881 you are right, waaay to much responsibility. I was terrified at the start of every shift 😭

We carry this responsibility every time we get behind the wheel. I am surprised at how vindictive people are when it was clearly an error that anyone could make. It’s actually pretty disturbing.

@@AnaLucia-wy2ii Thats true, but when we get behind the wheel, we are set up for success. You just have to worry about yourself and what you’re doing. We have vehicles with so much automation they can help us stay in the lane, break before we rear end someone, blind spot monitoring, etc. It could be the same way for nursing, but it’s not. There is so much responsibility on the nurse. Too much. Nurse to patient ratio is insane. Admits, discharges, codes, charting, giving meds, treatments. Talking to patients and families. ITS TOO MUCH. Filthy rich people at the top, not willing to take a pay cut and hire more workers. It shouldn’t feel like going into battle every shift. We need nurses and other medical staff. People will continue to quit. Then what will happen?

this is why I would never take any job that has any kind of liability...I would not even babysit..an accident happens, child got hurt etc you could be sued to oblivion or even arrested

This is called white privilege. If that nurse was black, her fate would be much different and that's a fact.

@Maria Isabel It is and it's punishable for everyone, but my point is that if the nurse was black, the court would have given her a rougher sentence.

This nurse would have killed you. She was negligent. You don’t know the facts. It got political. That’s why she got off. I lived there.

@@waldorocha604 surely you are kidding! Do you only watch CNN? Anyway…In this time she would never have been prosecuted …for political reasons

@@zakbauman9319 who the hell turns the tv on these days to watch "news"? Clearly you because you brought it up.

Love your reply.

Exactly. This is why drs have insurance to practice. Nurses should too. Accident happen but just like a cop grabbing taser or gun. She's paid good cause responsibility. It's part of the job.

Any nurse who doesn't carry their own liability insurance is playing with 🔥 IMO!

you haven't said what type of "healthcare professional" you are - assuming your "high-intensity case loads" are equivalent to hers is very disingenuous. She made mistakes working within the context of a very broken system - a system that resulted in mistakes every day - and if staff were less diligent, many more would have reached patients. Many of the mistakes listed weren't even mistakes - they were adaptations the workers had to make in order to meet a basic standard of care. For example, overriding the computer system was necessary daily. Her mistake of leaving the patient was also necessary in the context to continue care for other patients. Did you read the report on the medical centre, or is it irrelevant to look at the overall system (as the prosecution claimed)? And even if you make the giant leap that these actions were grossly negligent, what does that do for safety? Staff will do their best to hide mistakes in the future. Issues of training, rostering and the malfunctioning computer system will be suppressed because they can simply blame a person. The system will simply keep producing inadequate results (which staff have to work extra hard to avoid) and firing the person in the unfortunate position of making the last mistake, to the detriment of patients and the wider community. Next time you make a medication error, or ignore an alarm, or whatever, let me know. I'll be ready to send you to court.

I pray the family takes civil action.

She ignored TEN safety protocols dipshit. She didn't even READ the name of the drug she used.

Are you serious? Think if you were that dead womans famlily! It wasn't premediated, but it was murder!!

@@studyhardplayhard5086 they forgave her and didn't even want jail time for her. I'm sure I would be devastated but I hope I would be able to be as forgiving as they are, and realize it was a an accident with no ill intent.

@@carrielee6652 I wouldnt be forgiving so easily. Not without true justice. she killed someone. crazy that a killer walks free

@@studyhardplayhard5086 there was justice. She'll never be a nurse again. She's not a threat to anyone. She paid a ton of fines, she's on probation and she has to live with this for the rest of her life. She's been punished enough. I'm assuming you're not a nurse or in the medical field so I don't expect you to understand, but what if your spouse or mother or daughter was a nurse? Would you want them being thrown in jail and labeled a murderer because they made an human error when you know they are a good person who loves people and when never intentionally hurt anyone?

a lot of therapy and medication. When she spoke about the revelation of killing someone, you can see the devastation and complete hole she is in.

A nurse administered a over dose of medication that killed a person 🤔 that's just devastating. Im sure this women who she killed wanted to live . And the pain that's left behind this mistake never goes away. It's life altering . This is pain to another level. It's takes you more then a step behind in life. this memory of what happened to this poor victim who died will haunt the victims forever. I'm sure the victim was a mother a grandmother a wife a sister a cousin so all were hurt over this and still hurting. It's one thing to die of naturel causes but to die from a over dose from a mistake a nurse made is devastating .. I know cuz it happened to me and my family we lost our mother due to a over dose. And you can't even begin to imagine the severe pain it left us all in..it never ends..

​@@bettyvillegas9367 the family of the victim has forgiven her and didn't want her to be punished. I'm sorry you're still hurting, but I think they made their feelings pretty clear. This was a mistake and being the wonderful people they are, they weren't looking for vengeance.

@@awright119021 they didn't ask for forgiveness on my story although I do forgive the doctor and nurse but my fault blame me and hasn't talk to me in years this has separated a huge family that were very close and now because of their mistake I'm a outcast from my family and this 8s killing me slowly..I was talking about 5he damage it leaves behind . Not the forgiveness it's the pain . That never ends ..

Let me correct my comment their is forgiveness I'm just suffering from the unforgiveness my family has towards me they blame me my mother was in my care and 8 had no idea they were hurting her at that facility. But it's a slow painful death of sadness and regret regret on my part that I wasn't there when they hurt my mother. On top of all that my family hates me we haven't talked in 16 yrs

Or or you can just read the labels and what the doctor says to give. I mean tbh I read and make sure any medication I take is what I am intending to take I also administer my grandparents meds for them and my wife's and as long as you have a list of what and when and can read and you care you won't make that mistake. But at the end of the day if someone was driving a forklift at work and let's say mistakes the gas pedal for the brake what do you think is gonna happen when he hits and kills someone. He's going to jail for manslaughter. Negligence just shows uncaring behavior and honestly I'm fed up with the way nurses have been treating patients. Treat everyone like such trash it's horrible

@@darkmode867 you clearly do not work in healthcare. if you have worked a day in the hospital, you would understand the amount of stress, nurses are put through. I'm not condoning what RaDonda did was right but mistakes do happen and sometimes these mistakes are unfortunately irreversible and fatal. Mediciation errors happen, we are human and nurses are no different.

Come be a nurse

@@darkmode867 lmao. Tell me you don’t work in healthcare without telling me don’t. Your comments are so foolish and just stupid

@@kirak584 it doesn't matter where you work any error can be fatal at any job. Also there are plenty of jobs that are way more stressful that a nurses job. Maybe we shouldn't let just anyone become a nurse and screen better cause obviously you guys can't handle alittle stress or read a freaking chart. You legit have the easier version of this job with today's advantages in medicine and technology and your saying you still manage to mess up and cost people their lives?

Oh, I would've sued the hospital for sure for sure.. everyone would have to be punished.. the nurse who killed her have lost her license. The hospital would be next....

@@KZfaqGuy-dm7uy I'm talking about what happened BEFORE that. They provided a system which requires an override very often. After a while, an override becomes routine, when it really should be a rare exception. And I'm not saying she was not at fault, but the hospital had a broken system which was just waiting for someone to come along and make a careless mistake. Good systems PREVENT you from making the mistake.

@@Ruma_Kaalis_Camoran another stupid...you do know about covid in 2020 right?

This nurse "accidentally" gave that fatal dose. She needs absolute murder charges. I do drugs and know way more about them than any doctor I have ever met, this shouldn't be an excuse for doctors or nurses. She needs life in prison.

Honest, it’s in their code of ethic ! How can you lie ... EACH VILE IS ACCOUNTED FOR ....one would be missing and the one she was supposed to use would still be in stock !! Hard to lie about that !! The autopsy ..( which has to be performed because she was just getting a sedative and cat scan, not deadly procedures) would of definitely shown the wrong drug in her system! At least she told the truth ... blah blah blah

Admitting error is the most important thing after it occurs. Although it couldn't have been helped in this case, many med errors are correctable if addressed right away. This conviction is going to make nurses less likely to report errors.

@@amyconway9035 So next time you're in the hospital and there's an error rest assured it won't be reported...good luck

@@ytr3488 100% I never knew killing someone accidentally gets you 3 years of supervised probation.........so people next time you get into trouble in some way like vaught....just tell the judge you want the Vaught treatment lol

I think your comment brings light to this whole situation. I was trying to think of what to say but I think you covered it. Thanks

You cant even write a proper sentence , how can i trust you ?

God bless you and thank you for everything that you do!

You caught your mistake though. She was so distracted she didn't even bother to read the medication and it's warning label.. that is crazy scary.

@@youmadhuh6375 She didn't catch her mistake. She said she gave the wrong med, but the patient was not harmed

I definitely feel for both of them. You can tell that nurse isn't just feeling sorry for herself. She genuinely cares about that patient and her family. I also admire the family for speaking up for her. It is easy for them to forgive her, because they clearly have empathy and realize the mistakes they have all made, that could have led to something like this, but luckily did not.

really very true, I almost died from a mistake by a doctor and when I brought it up, was told to think about how the doctor felt

@@montanagal6958 Yeah, that's not good timing. I don't know who would just say that right off the bat, but it was definitely your time to get compassion.

My mil died from heart problems that just 2 months earlier, a dr in the er overlooked when she went in for chest pains. She was made to feel like it was all in her head and was sent home. It happens all the time.

@@ErinMott09 It does happen often enough, probably too often. Chest pains can be so many things, but you'd think they'd take it more seriously these days. Women's heart disease rates are pretty much on par w/ men's these days, unfortunately.

How did she ignore a label and override a computer and not realize it

Why are you promoting suicide? You must a depression!!!

The medication she gave is the most egregious medication error I’ve ever seen. I’m an anesthesiologist and I am very familiar with paralytics. They are literally only given by people doing airway management (anesthesiologists, er physicians, icu teams). They say warning: paralyzing agent on the top that you need to puncture the needle through. There were 5-10 hard stops before she gave this drug. For a lay analogy, imagine being a waiter and someone orders a water but you prepare them a glass of chocolate milk by pouring milk into a glass, adding chocolate syrup, and stirring it. Now imagine that the chocolate milk actually paralyzes them makes it impossible for them to take a breath and they die unable to gasp for air or move. Also they don’t drink it but you prepare it and inject it into their veins then don’t monitor them and walk away.

@@Tiger-cm2rp how terrifying . Thank you for the explanation people really don’t know the full details of the case

RaDonda seems to be living with herself just fine. I don't think you need to worry about RaDonda.

Exactly. This nurse is guilty as hell of criminal negligence in my opinion

Exactly. I agree. Nursing is hard and many errors can be made but there are the rights of medication administration that you follow. When dispensing medication, drawing up and administering.

I appreciate you pointing this all out. I'm just a home health aide worker and know these basics. I agree with everything you said because as busy as she may have been or whichever excuse others are making, when giving that medication she should have been reading that label prior to administering it. That is just basic protocol with medications.

Thats right! Every safety barriers were broken. The hospital should be held accountable as well. You shouldn't be able to override a paralytic. Let's not also forget that the Vanderbilt hospital completely threw the nurse under the bus instead of providing some sort of support .

Did you take your meds today?

People who have responsibilities should not be held responsible for their own actions. You run over a child with your car, you should not be held responsible for accidentally killing the child!

@@iowastate358 I hope you are been sarcastic. If you are, I agree with you.

@@ymReal yea people who accidentally kill people have always been held accountable imagine people who work in hospitals not having any responsibility for their actions will produce!?

Humans are Fallible, not Infallible. Only God is Infallible.

I wish people would get info on this case. She had chance after chance to correct her error. She also (as I figured) she was not that rushed.

She was texting her man and administered IV acid into someone's veins as a final (agonizing) death sentence. This was her 13th registered offence. She wasnt drafted into nursing, darling. Had this been a 7 year old she administered an agonizing final hour (full of acid veins) you would beg for her to get the death sentence. That woman she killed died screaming btw.

And again, so we are clear, NURSES ARE NOT DRAFTED INTO NURSING. smdhay.

Let me tell you how it’s in Greece. 2 days of shift (48 hours) and leaving next day in the afternoon (56 hours in total). I’m a doctor.

The last time and every time i was in the hospital , the nurses were all loud and laughing and talking loud in the halls waking me up. I couldn't wait to go home so i could sleep. It was sooo rude. I was in a lot of pain from surgery and every few minutes at night they woke me up talking loud joking laughing loud. I wasn't allowed to get up by myself to use bathroom. Every time i pushed the button to get help my nurse was snotty and mean. So i got up to use the bathroom by myself after waiting almost a hour for help. That nurse comes in my room yelling at me. It was the 3rd shift ones that treated me like dirt. The other shift was pleasant.

Then dont work as a nurse then. Piss and moan about your job. Do something else then. No one is forcing you to stay. So stop whining about it.

It doesn't happen more often where you worked because you worked with responsible and qualified nurses! Be glad you didnt have her on your team.
