Black nurses sue Jackson Park Hospital over strip search. #nurseup #chicago #nursefriendly

Black nurses sue Jackson Park Hospital over strip search. #nurseup #chicago #nursefriendly:”In an exclusive interview with the Crusader Joubert described in detail what she said was the most degrading experience of her life. On August 16, 2011 Joubert said she was finishing her shift at Jackson Park Hospital, 7531 South Stony Island Avenue, when a routine inventory of controlled drugs (medicine) turned up one (Vicodin) pill missing.

Joubert said she and fellow nurse Mable Dortch, also a plaintiff in the lawsuit, which was filed October 12, 2011 followed these steps but “that was not sufficient enough for them,” Joubert said. “They took it further than I had ever expected.” According to Joubert, after being “interrogated aggressively” by management about the missing pill in an open conference room, she alleged Williams took her to a bathroom and began searching her upper body by feeling inside her bra so hard that the back strap broke off exposing her breasts.”

Being A Naive Nurse Will Get You Thrown To The Wolves Jay Doe, RN, @TorontoEmerg #nurseup #nursefriendly

Being A Naive Nurse Will Get You Thrown To The Wolves Jay Doe, RN, @TorontoEmerg #nurseup #nursefriendly:”In matters related to practice, errors, or sentinel events, are nurses far too naïve when it comes to dealing with their employers, regulatory bodies, or police? Nurses falsely assume that all of these authorities will act in, or at least be mindful of, their best interests. The thought that any of them might act solely in their own self-interest (at best) or in bad faith (at worst), is probably beyond most of us. The fact is none of them have a nurse’s interest as their top priority, if in fact they consider it all. Aside from a duty to ensure patient safety, hospitals have a legal, fiduciary obligation to protect themselves from liability issues and legal action.”

Banner Health, #Arizona #Nurse Incident @nursingpins @BannerHealth #nurseup #AmandaTrujillo #healthcare #nursefriendly

Banner Health, #Arizona #Nurse Incident @nursingpins @BannerHealth #nurseup #AmandaTrujillo #healthcare #nursefriendly:”My name is Amanda Trujillo. I’m a registered nurse of six years , specializing in cardiology, geriatrics, and end of life/palliative care. Back in April of this year I was caring for a dying patient whom I had discovered had no clue about what they were about to participate in when they agreed to get a major invasive surgery. When I properly educated the patient using the allowed materials by my employer they became upset that the physician never explained details of the surgery or what had to be done after the surgery (complex lifetime daily self care). The patient also had no idea that they had a choice about whether they had to get the surgery or not or that there were other options. They asked about hospice and comfort care and I educated the patient within my nursing license and the nursing code of ethics. The patient requested a case management consult to visit with hospice to explore this option further in order to make a better decision for their course of care.

Just Us Nurses, is discussing #AmandaTrujillo, RN, #nursefriendly #nurseup:””That’s what Amanda Trujillo said she was doing last April when she spoke with a patient on the eve of their surgery.
”I discovered that they had a very big misunderstanding about what they were about to participate in,” Trujillo told CBS 5 News.
Trujillo, a licensed nurse in Arizona since 2006, said she advised the patient of possible complications.
The patient decided to delay the surgery and reconsider his or her options.
Trujillo said she also ordered a case management consult for the patient to be educated about hospice care.
”The doctor, ultimately, is the focal point that directs care for patients,” said Banner spokesman Bill Byron, who said company policy prevents nurses from ordering a case management consult.”
