I heard the the second nurse called the CDC twice about flying and she was told it was ok since her temp was not 100.4. This is the CDC's fault. I think the CDC doesn't know what the heck they are doing. I feel sorry for the ERs and the staff everywhere as they really don't know what to do to protect themselves and other patients. |
Wrong!!!!!
We are taught in nursing school to think for yourself. If you KNOW something is wrong....a doctors dosing instructions, a doctors assessment, ANYTHING that as a licensed, educated, trained professional YOU know is wrong, you do NOT follow those instructions. She is a nurse...she KNEW what her circumstances were, she KNEW better....as usual, people want to pass the buck...."not MY fault, they said I could go"....WRONG! She should not only loose her job, she should have her license suspended for a period of time! She is TRAINED to make independent medical decisions as they relate to what she knows and has been trained in. She was an ICU nurse! She has NO excuse for what she did! As nurses we all KNOW, if you do something, following a doctors orders, and the patient dies or is injured and it goes to court, YOU as a nurse are not protected by, "well, the doctor told me to do it, I was just follwoing orders"....she is a trained, educated, THINKING nurse....she has NO excuse for what she did! They said this am she was feeling sick before she ever left Texas to go do this wedding trip thing....and she cant remember the time frame she was at the bridal salon because "she felt so sick she cant remember".....OMG!!!!
