Yes, it makes sense she lost her license. But potential jail time?
RaDonda Vaught was working as a nurse at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in December 2017 when she made an error that would end a patient’s life, and alter the course of her own. During one of Vaught’s shifts, a patient named Charlene Murphey was admitted to the hospital for a brain bleed.
Because Murphey was claustrophobic, she was also to receive via injection a short-acting anxiety medication, called midazolam or Versed .Vaught was responsible for bringing Murphey for the scan and administering the medication. Soon after starting the scan, Murphey’s heart stopped, and she stopped breathing. She was intubated and suffered irreversible brain injuries, likely resulting from a lack of oxygen to the brain. Murphey died in the hospital two days later.
