Medication Errors, FDA U.S. Food and Drug Administration

FDA receives medication error reports4 on marketed human drugs (including prescription drugs, generic drugs, and over-the-counter drugs) and nonvaccine biological products and devices.  The National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention5 defines a medication error as "any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is in the control of the health care professional, patient, or consumer. Such events may be related to professional practice, health care products, procedures, and systems, including prescribing; order communication; product labeling, packaging, and nomenclature; compounding; dispensing; distribution; administration; education; monitoring; and use."

The American Hospital Association6 lists the following as some common types of medication errors:

  • incomplete patient information (not knowing about patients' allergies, other medicines they are taking, previous diagnoses, and lab results, for example);
  • unavailable drug information (such as lack of up-to-date warnings);

When Nurse Make Mistakes (Theresa Brown, RN) - NYTimes.com

This year, a Seattle nurse named Kim Hiatt committed suicide. Ms. Hiatt’s death came nearly seven months after she had given an unintended overdose to an infant heart patient, a medical error that was said to have contributed to the child’s death days later.

Ms. Hiatt had been a nurse for 27 years and had often cared for the 8-month-old girl during the child’s stay in the pediatric intensive care unit of her hospital. She had probably drawn up the right dose of the drug hundreds of times in her career. But once, she made a life-changing error. A baby died, and she was suspended, then fired from a profession she loved. And now she’s dead.

Organized Wisdom, (Nursing, Not For Everyone, Not For Most People) Why Are My Site Name, Meta Tags Plagiarized On Your Pages? site:organizedwisdom.com nursefriendly.com - Google Cache

Organized Wisdom, (Nursing, Not For Everyone, Not For Most People) Why Are My Site Name, Meta Tags Plagiarized On Your Pages? site:organizedwisdom.com nursefriendly.com - Google Cache

If your site has been submitted to Organized Wisdom, take note: This is a cached version of the page they plagiarized.

This is one of the tactics that we strongly object to. Organized Wisdom is using my site name, and meta tags to compete with our site in the search engines.

They are infringing on my business name and stealing traffic from our site. And from you if your site has been submitted to Organized Wisdom.

You'd want someone searching for you by name, see your site in the results, would you not?

If Organized Wisdom has their way, their site will show up, with your likeness and a drug ad. How do you feel about your site being used to hawk Brand Name prescriptions?

Since I started complaining publicly about this issue, they've added a "remove your site" option, however that does not good if you are unaware you've been plagiarized in the first place. Andrew Lopez, RN, @nursefriendly

Is Nursing a Profession or a Trade? - Nursing Link

onlinenursing

via Terri Schmitt - Is it possible for a profession to have an identity crisis? If so, then nursing does. Nurses frequently fight among themselves about who should be called a nurse, and they fight with the outside world about whether nursing is a profession or a trade. So which one is it? Is nursing a profession? Or a trade? The world needs tradesmen. Even the wealthiest and most educated among us need electricians, automobile mechanics, and roofers. The workers train long hours and continue throughout their caree
