Tell Your Surgical Providers About Your Medical Conditions, Pat Iyer @avoidmederrors @patiyer #nurseup #nursefriendly #healthcare:"A Court ruling says patient should have revealed her medical conditions. The surgical team was held not liable for her death of a stroke after a hip replacement.
A 71-year-old woman who died after suffering a post-operative stroke neglected to inform caregivers about her chronic vascular disease before undergoing elective hip-replacement surgery at a Mississippi hospital. Because the hospital and surgical team were unaware of the increased risks before the procedure, a state court of appeals has cleared them of wrongdoing."

Sunrise Nurses: Union sues after Sunrise (Children's Hospital, Nevada) refuses to rehire nurse - News - ReviewJournal #nurseup

Sunrise Nurses: Union sues after Sunrise (Children's Hospital, Nevada) refuses to rehire nurse - News - ReviewJournal #nurseup:"Sunrise Children’s Hospital has refused to rehire a nurse fired in connection with a 2010 baby death despite an arbitrator’s ruling that she should be reinstated with back pay, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday by the nurse’s union.
Filed in U.S. District Court by Service Employees International Union Local 1107, the lawsuit charges that “on or about January 13, 2012 Sunrise announced that it would refuse to comply” with the decision of arbitrator Paul Staudohar, who found that Sunrise lacked just cause to terminate Jessica Rice."

Surgical Patients Not Getting Information on Alternatives, Wall Street Journal #nurseup #nursefriendly

Surgical Patients Not Getting Information on Alternatives, Wall Street Journal #nurseup #nursefriendly:"It’s awfully hard for patients to participate in decisions about their medical care if they don’t know all their options. But that’s exactly what seems to be happening, at least with many Medicare patients who received a stent procedure for coronary disease or prostate surgery for cancer, according to a new study. The research, published online by the Journal of General Internal Medicine, surveyed 685 patients who had prostate-cancer surgery and 472 who had stents for coronary disease about their decision-making process."

Surgeon "Loses Clamp" Behind Patient's Heart During Bypass. Nurse's Responsibility To Pick Up? #nurseup #nursefriendly

Surgeon "Loses Clamp" Behind Patient's Heart During Bypass. Nurse's Responsibility To Pick Up? #nurseup #nursefriendly:"Summary: During any surgical operation, there is an inherent "duty" owed to the patient that the operation will be carried out competently. This includes carrying out specified procedures and taking measures to prevent "foreign" objects from being left in the body cavity. In this case, during a coronary artery bypass grafting, a clamp slipped from the surgeon's sight. It would be found on x-ray later sitting behind the patient's heart."

Support your fellow nurse, Lisa Bonsall, MSN, RN, CRNP, #nurseup #amandatrujillo

Support your fellow nurse, Lisa Bonsall, MSN, RN, CRNP, #nurseup #amandatrujillo:"We see, read, and hear so much about horizontal violence and nurses not being supportive of each other, and also about other healthcare professionals being unsupportive of nurses. Another such case is occurring, but what is striking to me, is that while this one nurse is going through this tough time, nurses on the web are rallying together to support her and encouraging others to do the same.
The case is of Amanda Trujillo, a registered nurse in Arizona. According to a letter she wrote and the posts of many nurse bloggers, Amanda has been fired from her job, her nursing license is in question, and she is undergoing psychiatric evaluation after educating a patient about his illness and options. The patient decided to forgo surgical intervention and explore hospice care. The details of her case can be read on a number of nursing blogs, including vdutton’s posterous (with the transcript of details recorded by her attorney), Those Emergency Blues, and Emergiblog. The Nerdy Nurse also has several posts and an extensive list of resources about the case and ways to show support."<br>

Stress In = Stress Out!, Michael Pergrem, @coachperg, #nurseup #nursefriendly #nursing

Stress In = Stress Out!, Michael Pergrem, @coachperg, #nurseup #nursefriendly #nursing:"How one handles stress varies widely from individual to individual. What I would consider horrendously stressful another might see as a walk in the park.
It’s all relative to the individual.
An associate of mine who has a wife with late stage MS and cared for her at home until recently (when she progressed to requiring 24/7 skilled nursing care), said that years ago when he would hear someone complain about something that seemed trivial compared to his situation, he would think to himself how he’d trade places with them in a heartbeat. He then came to learn that their struggles were just as difficult for them, as his were to him."

Sponge Count Off, Patient Develops Sepsis, Surgeon Blames Nurse. #surgery #surgical #surgeon #nursefriendly

Sponge Count Off, Patient Develops Sepsis, Surgeon Blames Nurse. #surgery #surgical #surgeon #nursefriendly:"Sponge Counts are a basic and critical safety measure during a surgical operation. In this case, the standard three counts were not performed. A sponge was left in the patient that would later lead to infection. When the issue went to court, the surgeon claimed "it was not his responsibility" to keep track of the sponges. The patient was admitted for surgical repair of a hernia. The operation was performed and the patient returned to the floors without obvious incident."

Show Me How Much You Care, AzNA - Nurse Ratched’s Place, @motherjonesrn, #nurseup #amandatrujillo #nursefriendly:"There is a big discussion going on over at the Arizona Nurses Association’s Facebook page about the Amanda Trujillo case. Many of their members think that their organization has been unfairly depicted in social media and are voicing their displeasure. I’m all about public discourse, and I welcome the dialogue. It’s about time that nursing organizations are finally talking about this case.
Some additional details have come out about Amanda Trujillo’s case. To recap, Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center fired Amanda Trujillo after she educated a patient that was slated to begin pre-transplant testing the next day."

Security video shows struggle between RFK son, nurses – USATODAY #nurseup #nursefriendly #healthcare #crime

Andrew Lopez

Security video shows struggle between RFK son, nurses – USATODAY #nurseup #nursefriendly #healthcare #crime:"Security video obtained by WNBC-TV shows that the nurses stopped Kennedy from using an elevator, then tried to block him from using a stairwell.
The two sides disagree about what happened during the struggle. Kennedy said one of the nurses tried to snatch the child from his arms. The nurse, Cari Maleman Luciano, told police she was only trying to steady the “violent shaking” of the baby.
One nurse said Kennedy twisted her arm. Another said he kicked her in the pelvis. The security video shows a woman falling to the floor. Kennedy was eventually stopped from leaving the hospital by security officers."

Sealed "Rape Kit" Reopened By Nurse. Evidence Inadmissible? #nurseup #nursefriendly #healthcare #crime

Andrew Lopez

Sealed "Rape Kit" Reopened By Nurse. Evidence Inadmissible? #nurseup #nursefriendly #healthcare #crime:"Documentation of observations and findings are basic to nursing practice. Our practice is governed by standards of practice and "protocols" to be followed. In this case, a nurse admitting a rape victim collected and placed in a "rape kit" DNA samples, evidence to be submitted for laboratory analysis. The evidence submission protocol would inadvertently be broken by the nurse. The defense for the rapist would argue this breach made the evidence inadmissible."

Linda Leekley RN & Stacey Turnure RN, EmbracingCivility.com, #RNFMradio #nurseup #nursefriendly:"When two North Carolina nurses met, they knew they had several things in common. They were both passionate about nursing, had a knack for writing and were driven to inspire others to embrace lifelong learning.
They later discovered they had something else in common—something they were not talking about. They had both suffered the ill effects of incivility in the healthcare workplace. Why weren’t they talking about it? Because no one talks about it. It’s healthcare’s dirty little secret. No one wants to admit that a shameful culture of incivility infects most healthcare workplaces."

RN Amanda Trujillo Becomes a Call to Arms, by Jennifer Olin, BSN, RN, @JOlin2, #nurseup, #amandatrujillo

RN Amanda Trujillo Becomes a Call to Arms, by Jennifer Olin, BSN, RN, @JOlin2, #nurseup, #amandatrujillo:"It has been a call to arms. The story of Amanda Trujillo, RN, is sweeping the nursing blogosphere in just a matter of days. From the initial story released via Vernon Dutton, RN to the many followup blogs, a national petition and a support group seemingly grown out of nowhere, nurses are banding together to help one of their own. When Trujillo was first fired she reached out for support to nursing organizations in her home state of Arizona. That support was not forthcoming. As the months passed and her hearing in front of the Arizona State Board of Nursing was put off Trujillo decided to take matters into her own hands and look for support elsewhere. Long a fan of nurse/author Echo Heron, Trujillo sent her an email about her troubles. Heron forwarded that email to Dutton.
I recently spoke with Trujillo about her decision to seek help from strangers."

#RhodeIsland State #Nurses, Could This Happen To You? #nurseup #amandatrujillo #nursefriendly:"If you have been the victim of a situation like Amanda’s we’d like to hear your story. It is a story that is being repeated with the “Kennedy Nurses” in New York, with the “Sunrise Nurses” in Nevada, previously with the “Winkler Nurses” in Texas.
In each of these cases, it is interesting to note where the nurses turned for support. These situations happen every day. We would like Nurseup.com to become a clearinghouse for nurses in these types of situations. We want to compile lists of organizations that can help nurses in these types of situations."

Report A Bad Doctor To The Authorities, Go To Jail? (Winkler Nurses), February 8, 2010 #nurseup #nursefriendly #winklernurses

Report A Bad Doctor To The Authorities, Go To Jail? (Winkler Nurses), February 8, 2010 #nurseup #nursefriendly #winklernurses:"About five months ago, I blogged about a true miscarriage of justice, the sort of thing that should never, ever h...appen. In brief, it was the story of two nurses who, disturbed at how a local doctor was peddling his dubious “herbal” concoctions in the emergency room of the local hospital when he came in to see patients, reported him to the authorities. Moreover, they had gone up the chain of command, first complaining to hospital authorities. After nothing happened for months, they decided to report the physician, Dr. Rolando Arafiles, Jr., to the Texas Medical Board because they honestly believed that this physician was abusing his trust with patients and behaving unethically by improperly hawking herbal supplements that he was selling in the rural health clinic and the emergency room of Winkler County Memorial Hospital."

Psychiatric Nurse, Sued By hospital After Developing Relationship With Client? #nurseup #nursefriendly #healthcare

NurseFriendly posted an update right now

Psychiatric Nurse, Sued By hospital After Developing Relationship With Client? Summary: Doctors and Nurses by nature of their positions deal with patients when they are vulnerable, off-balance and emotionally needy. When the population includes the psychiatric patient, the potential exists for a client to develop ”feelings” for the caregiver. In this case, a sexually abused mother of three was admitted for multiple mental disturbances. During the course of the treatment, a relationship developed and led to sexual encounters following discharge. When it came to light, the patient successfully sued. The hospital would attempt to recover damages against the nurse following her testimony in defense of the facility. This is commonly called a Subrogation action.

Premature Child of Cocaine Addicted Mother Survives Abortion. Physician Order: Leave To Die? #nurseup #nursefriendly

Premature Child of Cocaine Addicted Mother Survives Abortion. Physician Order: Leave To Die?:"The premature birth of a child under normal circumstances requires highly skilled nursing and medical care if the child is to survive. The birth of a premature child to a known Cocaine addicted mother greatly increased the risks of mortality. In this case, a child intended to be aborted is born alive. When the physician orders that the child be to left to die, it miraculously survives on its own. Were the nurses liable for "following orders?"

#Physician #Restraint Orders Unclear On Transfer, Do You Apply In The Interim? #nursefriendly #nursing

NurseFriendly posted an update 1 hour, 57 minutes ago

#Physician #Restraint Orders Unclear On Transfer, Do You Apply In The Interim? #nursefriendly #nursing:”The use of Mechanical or Physical Restraints on confused patients is highly controversial. Due to substantial Death & Injury attributed to their use they are considered a last resort measure in providing for the safety of a patient. In this case, orders specifying what restraints and when they were to be used were unclear. In a patient that was clearly at high risk for injury, should they have been applied till the physician could have been contacted?”

When the nurses assessing the patient could not detect a pulse in that leg, an ominous sign of circulatory failure. The physician when notified chose to dismiss this fact and discharge the patient.

The Persecution of Amanda Trujillo, Those Emergency Blues, @torontoemerg #nurseup #amandatrujillo #nursefriendly

NurseFriendly posted an update 12 minutes ago

The Persecution of Amanda Trujillo, Those Emergency Blues:”In the ugly, grey world of hospital balance sheets it’s almost a commonplace that physicians generate revenue while nurses represent a cost. Fancy procedures and sub-sub-specialties bring generous income streams, in terms of charging (and profiting) from the provision of a multitude of related services, such as nursing, while nursing itself, because it generates no revenue, is a burden to the bottom line.
It’s also commonplace, that in certain health care institutions, the power structure, the hierarchy of heath care, is so rigid (and fragile) that any challenges to that hierarchy — such as a nurse questioning the God-like omniscience of a surgeon — must be ruthlessly suppressed.

The Curious Case of #AmandaTrujillo and the Arizona Board of Nursing, By Genevieve M. Clavreul, RN, Ph.D., #nurseup #nursefriendly

June 12, 2012 in Amanda Trujillo, Banner Health Arizona, Board of Nursing license accusations against nurses, Informed Patient Choices, Legal Advocacy For Nurses, Nurse Abuse, Nurse Leaders, Nursing As A Profession, Patient Advocacy

The Curious Case of #AmandaTrujillo and the Arizona Board of Nursing, By Genevieve M. Clavreul, RN, Ph.D., #nurseup #nursefriendly:”Trujillo said that after reviewing her case, the AZBN’s nurse investigator had recommended that the complaint against her be dismissed, but the board had decided to go forward anyway, ordering her to face an administrative hearing in January of this year. Trujillo closed her email with a plea for readers to share her story as widely as possible.

Needless to say, Trujillo’s much-publicized letter evoked passionate responses from nurses. Who among us hasn’t worked with a doctor with a big ego who objected if a nurse so much as questioned his or her orders? I’ll never forget a neurosurgeon I once worked with who constantly yelled, threw tantrums and even hurled surgical instruments at nurses in the operating theater, but had never been disciplined because none of the nurses he abused were willing to report it. He was finally sanctioned after he slapped a patient, who had no problem filing a complaint against him. (After that, his behavior changed for the better!)”

Thank you Genevieve for weighing in on Amanda’s case I’ve been working hard to keep it on people’s minds. Appreciate that larger publications are slowly starting to take notice of her case.

I am a bit disappointed that there was no opportunity to comment on Working Nurse on your article. Are they disabled by default?
