RaDonda Vaught, a Vanderbilt nurse, made a fatal med error. She has now lost her license and been charged with negligent homicide. But the story doesn't end there. Kati Kleber of FreshRN.com and I discuss the timeline, the charges and answer the question: “could this happen to anyone?”.  We also discuss very interesting “politics” of the case. Who is the DA and what is his affiliation to Vanderbilt... to RaDonda's defense attorney? Why did the hospital initially list “natural causes” on the patient's death certificate? This is much deeper than a conclusion of guilty or innocent. It's a picture of inconsistency, corruption in healthcare, and has the potential to set precedent changing not only how nurses practice but overall willingness to take the risk of working at the bedside. www.theboomclapcommunity.com www.instagram.com/ritarogersco  www.intstagram.com/cecily.dickey www.instagram.com/kati_kleber https://www.freshrn.com/radonda-vaught-trial/ Nursing license full complaint: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6483588-Vaught-RaDonda-NOC-9-27-19.html DA Discovery: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6785652-RaDonda-Vaught-DA-Discovery.html CMS remediation: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6535181-Vanderbilt-Corrective-Plan.html TN Health Dept Letters: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6785898-RaDonda-Vaught-Letters.html CMS complaint: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6542003-CMS-Complaint-Intake.html --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

At the very beginning of nursing school, we learn basic care of our patients: turning, intake and output, oral care, and so forth. Once we reach the bedside, we tend to become focused on the more complex tasks of nursing care, and those basics can fall by the wayside. In this episode we return to the basics, discussing their importance and how to incorporate them into our daily practice.  Head to FreshRN.com/42 for the complete show notes of this episode.

Most hospitals have some form of Rapid Response Team that can be called when patients are becoming unstable to bring people and resources to the bedside quickly.

Head to FreshRN.com/41 for the complete show notes of this episode.

In this episode, they talk about how Kati’s blog became a valuable resource for new nurses and an incredible online business. Kati provides insights into monetizing online content, creating an influential online presence and building online courses for your audience.   Episode Highlights: Where did Kati grow up and how did she transition into nursing? When did Kati realize her popular blog could become a business? Did she look to others to see how they were monetizing their blogs? How do people respond when Kati tells them she's a self-employed nurse educator? What tips does she have for bloggers or someone building an online presence? How did Kati identify a need for online courses? How did she decide which courses to build and was that process like? What is her advice to someone who wants to create an online course but doesn't feel quite ready to take it on by themselves? How can someone present this opportunity to a co-instructor? What is Kati's parting advice for nurses leaving the bedside nursing position to pursue entrepreneurship?   3 Key Points: Business principles in general will apply to your health-related business. Surround yourself with other entrepreneurs and learn from them. When writing content, perform SEO research that targets your intended audience and write  to provide real value. It’s important to have access to your audience regardless of what happens with social  media and algorithm changes. Don’t underestimate the power of email and a robust nurture sequence.   Tweetable Quotes: “Your stuff should be so good people are not going to wait for a sale because they know  the value is there.” – Kati Kleber “If you're waiting to have this perfect platform and perfect everything before you take these steps, you're going to wait forever.” – Kati Kleber   Resources Mentioned: NNBA Conference https://nnbanow.com/nnba-conference-2019/ What Should We Call Nursing Tumblr https://whatshouldwecallnursing.tumblr.com/ A Day In the Life of a Nurse (blog post) https://www.freshrn.com/2017/02/21/new-nurse-memes/ Stilettos and Diapers  https://stilettosanddiapers.com/ The Nerdy Nurse https://thenerdynurse.com/ Platform by Michael Hyatt (Book) https://www.amazon.com/Platform-Get-Noticed-Noisy-World/dp/159555503X/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=platform+by+michael+hyatt&qid=1581921252&sr=8-2 Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook by Gary Vaynerchuk (Book) https://www.amazon.com/Jab-Right-Hook-Story-Social/dp/006227306X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2MX2V0DFUKYQS&keywords=jab+jab+jab+right+hook+gary+vaynerchuk&qid=1581921274&sprefix=jab+jab+jab%2Caps%2C365&sr=8-1 Ramit Sethi https://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/ belive.tv https://be.live/ Health Media Academy https://healthmediaacademy.com/ The Nurse’s Guide to Blogging https://www.amazon.com/Nurses-Guide-Blogging-Profitable-Influencer/dp/1546566821 FreshRN https://www.freshrn.com/ Katie Kleber Website https://www.katikleber.com/ Katie Kleber Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kati_kleber/ Katie Kleber Facebook https://www.facebook.com/FreshRN/ #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #nurse #nursepreneur #nurseed #onlinecontent #onlinecourses
