The RaDonda Vaught Case: A Fatal Medication Error
Ms. Terri Stewart, MSN, RN

On March 25th, a jury in Nashville, Tennessee convicted Registered Nurse, RaDonda Vaught of criminally negligent homicide and impaired adult abuse. By the time this episode airs, Ms. Vaught will be sentenced in this conviction. This case has riled up the nursing community (both for and against the conviction). The American Nurses Association has said put out a statement along with the Tennessee Nurses Association that in part says, “Like many nurses who have been monitoring this case closely, we were hopeful for a different outcome. It is a sad day for all of those who are involved, and the families impacted by this tragedy….this ruling will have a long-lasting negative impact on the profession”. Ms. Stewart and I discuss details of the case, medication errors in general terms and reporting of those errors, the impact this case potentially has on the nursing profession and lessons learned moving forward.
