JUNE 15th GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING (RECAP)
HELD VIA ZOOM AND IN-PERSON AT THE HAMPTON INN
JNESO IS SEEING AN UPTICK IN CASES/DISCIPLINES RELATING TO "OVERRIDING MEDS." VIRTUA IS ON HIGH ALERT SINCE THE HIGH-PROFILE COURT CASE WITH RADONDA VAUGHT, RN, AT VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER IN TENNESSEE.
THINGS TO REMEMBER!
Get another nurse to check/validate medication with you.

Read message pop-ups when medication is scanned, don’t just override, be alert to the message on the screen!

Your employer is doing a look-back period of up to 6 months to see the frequency of overriding meds, the type of med, and any patterns.

If you are having any technical problem or med error issues (medication incorrect in system) follow the hospital's policy & procedures document in nursing notes and send a message via email/text.
