Nursing And The Coronavirus

March 12, 2020 by LORIE A BROWN, R.N., M.N., J.D. 2 Comments

A nurse working at Kaiser in California took care of a patient who was positive for the coronavirus.  She volunteered to care for this patient because she had training on the recommended protective gear.  Her assumption was that should something happen to her, she would be cared for. Unfortunately, after a few days passed, the nurse became ill.  She put herself on a 14-day self-quarantine period.  However, she could not get tested to confirm whether she had contracted the coronavirus.  At … [Read more...]

Nurses As Independent Contractors

February 6, 2020 by LORIE A BROWN, R.N., M.N., J.D. 3 Comments

A new law went into effect in California last month regulating “gig” labor.  The legislation was aimed at companies such as Uber and Lyft which inappropriately classify their drivers as independent contractors.  The hope was that if they were to be labeled “employees,” they would be entitled to regular employment benefits such as minimum wage, sick pay and insurance benefits.  However, the unintended consequence is that this could affect registered nurses, certified registered nurses, … [Read more...]

Trusted Nurses

January 23, 2020 by LORIE A BROWN, R.N., M.N., J.D. Leave a Comment

In a Gallup Poll, nursing has again been voted as the most trusted profession for the 18th year in a row. One of the reasons it has been so long acclaimed is because of nursing ethics.  However, anything that nurses do that may not put our profession in the most favorable light, can be detrimental. In an MTV reality TV show “Scrubbing In”, they portrayed nurses going to bars in their scrubs.  This negatively portrayed the nursing profession.  We are held to high standards, just like a … [Read more...]

Malpractice Claims are on the Rise with Electronic Health Records

January 9, 2020 by LORIE A BROWN, R.N., M.N., J.D. 2 Comments

According to The Doctor’s Company, a medical malpractice insurance company, more and more claims are being filed as a result of Electronic Health Records (EHR).  Because of drop down menus and lack of alerts, patients are getting harmed. In one example, a physician intended to order 15mg of Morphine.  The drop-down menu gave him the choice of 15mg or 200mg.  The physician mistakenly ordered the 200mg.  The patient took the 200mg Morphine with Xanax and became somnolent and spent the night in … [Read more...]
