  • The War Against Amanda Trujillo, April 25, 2012, Mother Jones, RN, Nurse Ratched’s Place:”I still support Amanda Trujillo and some people who have read the allegations against Amanda have questioned my judgment. Frankly, I don’t believe these allegations because I personally know two other nurses who have been reported to their nursing boards by their former employers. One of my friends was reported to the BON after she spoke up about unsafe nursing practices at a shady nursing home, and the other was reported after he chastised hospital administration for placing psychiatric patients and staff in an unsafe environment. Their former employers cooked up all kinds of false allegations against my friends who are both stellar nurses. Their former employers crucified their character, but in the end they were both cleared of any wrongdoing by their respective state nursing boards. There is an escalating pattern of abuse as more unscrupulous employers are using nursing boards as the ultimate scare tactic to keep nurses “in their place. ” Amanda is just another victim of this ploy.” http://www.nurseratchedsplace.com/2012/04/the-war-against-amanda-trujillo/ For more information: http://www.nurseup.com/

    Many of my readers are wondering why I took a break from writing about the Amanda Trujillo case.  The answer is simple.  This case is getting very litigious.

#Extravasation Follows #Chemotherapy Administration – #Complication or #Nursing #Negligence #nursefriendly #nurseup

April 28, 2012 in Uncategorized

#Extravasation Follows #Chemotherapy Administration – #Complication or #Nursing #Negligence #nursefriendly:”Intravenous therapy has inherent risks and potential complications. When you introduce chemotherapeutic drugs and known vesicants, those risks increase dramatically. In this case, a known risk, extravasation, occurred following administration. The question arises, could the nurses have acted sooner to prevent the extravasation and resulting tissue damage.”

Every Nurse Needs to Understand Pressure Ulcer Assessment, Jennifer Olin, @Jolin2 @RNCentral #nursefriendly #nurseup

April 28, 2012 in Uncategorized

Every Nurse Needs to Understand Pressure Ulcer Assessment, Jennifer Olin, @Jolin2 @RNCentral #nursefriendly #nurseup:”Decubitus ulcers or pressure ulcers, or as they are more commonly known, bedsores, are nursing practice priorities across all healthcare settings. From the nursing home to the operating room and everywhere in between, maintenance of skin integrity is a major aspect of nursing care. Consistent, planned skin care assessment and interventions are critical to ensuring high quality care. A pressure ulcer is a localized area of tissue necrosis (death) that develops when soft tissue is compressed between a bony prominence and an external surface for a prolonged period of time.”

#Emergency Department #Nurse #Verbally #Abused, #Physician History Well Documented #nurseup #abuse #nursefriendly

April 28, 2012 in Uncategorized

#Emergency Department #Nurse #Verbally #Abused, #Physician History Well Documented #nurseup #abuse #nursefriendly:” Official tolerance for verbal abuse and sexual harassment is approaching zero. It is clear that both are still prevalent in healthcare settings today. Enforcing and reporting instances of abuse are critical to an end being put to the situation. In this case, a physician had a history of verbal abuse in the facility involved. It was the documentation of previous events that made formal action and administration of a suspension feasible. The physician berated the nurse for the way in which one of his patients was being handled. He accused the nurse of ”not doing her job” and giving the patient substandard care.

Elderly Patient Repeatedly Injured In Nursing Home ”Accidents.” Negligence, Coincidence or Abuse? #nurseup #nursefriendly

Elderly Patient Repeatedly Injured In Nursing Home ”Accidents.” Negligence, Coincidence or Abuse? #nurseup #nursefriendly:”As the elderly population continues to increase, more and more families are faced with the decision to place loved ones in nursing homes.  When a family member is placed in a facility, a certain standard of care is expected.  In this case, a resident was injured repeatedly while under their care.  When the patient died a few days after being ”dropped” the family sued.
