Nurses are Raging and Quitting after Guilty Verdict

[@CrosbyTheNomadNurse]

Let me know what you think!!

[@travelnurseadventures3225]

My grip is: they cut my travel pay but at the hospital I’m at the construction workers who are contracted too didn’t get a pay cut…seems the hospital cutting on frontliners only.

[@thewellfedhuman3043]

I'm a RN. I quit in August of 2021. ALLLLL of us are risking prison by going to work because our system is so broken. It is unsafe for patients and unsafe for nurses. Human beings cannot be pushed to the point where there is no possible way we can succeed and not have to tap out. We are indeed set up to fail. There is no WAY to follow hospital policies to the letter and also complete your job in the amount of time we are given. If you are a nurse who thinks you follow all hospital policies...wait until you make an error. You will find out there is SOME policy that you didn't follow to the letter. Especially when they change every 5 minutes. The ANA is a joke and I'm sorry I ever gave them $1 of my money. When they started villainizing police officers I knew we were next.

[@travelnurseadventures3225]

So True!!!

[@drrd4127]

I made a mistake and I told the nurse in charge, I was feeling terrible and another nurse said to me "It's really great that you admit to your mistakes, most nurses brush their mistakes under the carpet and don't tell anyone", isn't that a scary thought, if nurses are too scared to come forward and admit their mistakes, that is a problem! Convicting this woman will only make the collective anxiety worse.

[@kimcarter6856]

Absolutely setup to fail!

[@poodledaddles1091]

I work in LTC, I just turned in my resignation, 4 more shifts to go!

[@travelnurseadventures3225]

Good for you!

[@travelnurseadventures3225]

Interesting: Ohio Doctor found NOT Guilty of 14 pt deaths 🧐 Also why is it OK to cut a travel nurses pay in the middle of contract and take bonus away, but there are lots of construction workers at the hospital and they are contracted-did the hospital cut their pay too? 🙄 Yep, we are all set up to fail!

[@johnberry2877]

Nursing is predominantly a female occupation. The working conditions are tolerated because most women are not willing to stand up and demand to be treated better than a galley slave !

[@travelnurseadventures3225]

@@johnberry2877 i agree, women need to make their own improvements and not be martyrs. There’s a lot work that we need to do 😷

[@jerad4336]

After this verdict I no longer recommend nursing as a career.

[@johnberry2877]

It’s deliberate understaffing for profit 💰💰💰!

[@jaymorgan.]

The ratio in nursing homes is ridiculous. A lot of nurses is 1 to 30 or even 1 to 40 in many places and this was way before the pandemic and corporate and administration doesn’t care when you complain. In nursing homes a nurse should have no more than 15-20 residents at the maximum.

[@johnberry2877]

I work in LTC as an RN. My company is currently attempting to get us to accept over 30 patients. However, if faced with this potential disaster in the making, I have resolved to not accept the assignment !

[@jaymorgan.]

@@johnberry2877 yep and when a error is made you will be blamed and sacrificed or when you don’t get something done they will be down your back.

[@zacharybils9182]

What happened with Charlene Murphy should have been a purely civil and TN board of nursing issue. Charging her criminally was horrible.

[@nicoleoleary3786]

I personally work in a nursing home and let me tell you this has been the hardest part of nursing in 20 years for me

[@fixinfkinsandwiches6183]

Nurses are stuck in between a rock and a hard place often; if they walked out of a shift-its patient abandonment, risk of losing the job and loss of a good reference. However, staying at many jobs is a risk to patient well being, nursing license and even jail. I’ve personally felt set up for failure in at least four different LVN/LPN positions even before the pandemic. I really advocate for people to avoid the vocation and am seeking ways to leave it myself. At one time I wanted to be an NP but have no desire to continue in the field.

[@carla-oq8lz]

Honesty=punishment, let’s see what we all will do in the future 🧐 Hospital administrators have no clue or have forgotten what we deal with on a daily basis from many angles. After 20 years In nursing, I’ve finally seen that I’m just there to make them money and I get left with all the tiredness, burned out, and emotional drain. Planning to work as a part time nurse (2 days/wk) and start my own business to really focus on what is best for me and my family. Good luck to all of you, be safe out there.

[@SABOREAME68]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crosby, as usual great video & content. I have worked in multiple countries in Europe, and in multiple states in USA, and it seems like this subject remains the same for nurses, and I mean unresolved which saddens me. Stay Safe & Healthy... Abrazos

[@Kwicdrawmcgraw]

I know I won't work at Vanderbilt.

[@CrosbyTheNomadNurse]

Nope!

[@carlhannemann2233]

Apparently nurses think they are the only people who work long hours and stressful jobs and deal with bad employers. The nurse gave the wrong medication, mistake or not, it lead to the death of a patient. If someone who operates heavy machinery is tired and stressed and happens to kill someone they are gonna be charged. Coos who have accidentally shot innocent people have been charged. But apparently you cant charge nurses cause its not their fault they skip steps and administer wrong medications. Blames the hospitals and administrators all you want in the end you gave the patient the wrong medication without double checking you can deal with the consequences of your actions. Grow up take accountability and stop using lame excuses about overworked and stress. You being stressed isn’t a good excuse for killing someone mistake or not.

[@AdamtheRed-]

You're not in an industry to help people if you're unwilling to take responsibility for harming them. Using this verdict as an excuse to leave the profession is fantastic, weed out the weaklings. As an example: I work as QC in the aerospace industry. If I inspect and pass though any part, _any_ , that fails and hurts or kills someone during use, I am liable. I pride myself on attention to detail so im not overly concerned about something bad happening. If someone in my field passed something through and it killed someone, i wouldn't be sticking up for them nor trying to condemn them. I would figure out what they did wrong and make sure not to do it myself. We need people in society who are willing to make, accept, and learn from mistakes.

[@johnberry2877]

Frankly Adam, as a former machinist, tool maker, QC lead, who worked in the defense, aerospace and automotive industry for over 20 years you have NO idea what the job as an RN consists of ! I have been an RN for over ten years and can tell you, you have no concept of the requirements, workload, stress and anxiety involved in this occupation. I have had two coworkers commit suicide over the last seven years due to said stressors! Never in my previous carrier could that statement have been made. So, before you think or say anything about being an RN, think about your worst possible day and magnifying it by 10x and you might feel what this occupation does to the human psyche!!

[@AdamtheRed-]

@@johnberry2877 Good job for not addressing anything I said. Poor you. If you dont like it, quit. If you don't want to take responsibility for killing someone, quit. If its _too_ stressful (waaa boo hoo!), FUCKING QUIT! Society at large doesn't need whiney bitches in such an important position. The idea that you went to school for machining and nursing and have spent thirty years combined in both industries raises my eyebrows. Either you're in your sixties or youre lying. Edit: and ill repeat the most important bit from above: you're not in an industry to help people if you're unwilling to take responsibility for harming them.

[@kloatlanta]

I sometimes wonder how I survived my first year of nursing (aka thrown to the wolves)

[@MrIowahawks77]

I haven’t seen ppl quitting

[@jerrylee3887]

I know nursing students are burning out before they become professionals in the profession... That's disheartening

[@zuiiee]

i decided to retire from nursing the day this guilty verdict came out.

[@jesstiss222]

Absolutely the power structures need to be held accountable and do better by us *as well* but all this finger pointing and defensive excuse-making is not ok either. Demand better and DO BETTER, healthcare peeps!

[@jesstiss222]

Good! People that defend incompetence instead of humbly try to improve care should GO! Medical errors are the #3 cause of death, according to Johns Hopkins. It shouldn’t be more deadly to go to the hospital than to stay home and suffer.

[@zuiiee]

considering that it was the hospital that asked the nurses to constantly break protocol and do these dangerous acts that ultimately lead to the death of this pt and ONLY the nurse is being held accountable is complete and utter bs and proves that this career field is NOT the place to be.

[@thewellfedhuman3043]

There is a huge difference between incompetence and making an error. Very few people will disagree that this particular situation was a multitude of errors that all lined up to create a horrible outcome. There are also very few people who will disagree that this nurse should not have suffered consequences. But a felony conviction, after losing her license is excessive. As you point out, if medical errors are the #3 cause of death we need to start examining the possibility that something is wrong with the SYSTEM. Because the alternative explanation is that the majority of the healthcare providers are incompetent?? Does that make sense? I'd also like to add, that as soon as one thinks they are so competent they could never make a mistake they have become dangerous.

[@travelnurseadventures3225]

The #1 cause of death is Misdiagnosis--MD related, but don’t worry they don’t go to jail for their misdiagnosis.

Doesn't nurses paid alot like 50 an hour BSN?

[@hehehehfun4938]

LOL absolutely not unless you are in CA.

[@jaymorgan.]

RN Nurses in Ohio are paid anywhere from $36 to $45hour and the cost of living is cheap you can live very comfortable on those wages.

[@mistermilkman]

In Indiana, BSN nurses starting salary is as low as $23/hr, some states as little as $19/hr. Idk know where u got $50 from.

[@travelnurseadventures3225]

No, I worked as an RN no BSN and the hospital what’s us to get BSN within 2 years of hire, I was paid 27 an hour. 50 bucks an hour that’s travel nurses or California nurses, but that is an exceptional pay
