“Health care delivery is highly complex. It is inevitable that mistakes will happen, and systems will fail. The criminalization of medical errors is unnerving, and this motion sets into motion a dangerous precedent.” #IStandWithRaDonda #RaDondaVaught @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

Remember when RaDonda Vaught reported a fatal medical error but Vanderbilt covered it up and silenced the patient’s family? #IStandWithRaDonda @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

RaDonda is NOT the first healthcare worker to have made a medical error but she is the first to have faced criminal charges #NurseRevolution #RaDondaVaught @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

I'm going to be applying to Nursing school but am having doubts. Why go into a profession knowing that HUMAN mistakes will result in criminal charges? Why spend 4 years learning to be the best when I know that I will be working under a broken system? #RaDondaVaught @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

Vaught could be you, could be me, or could be anyone else. The system has failed nursing as an entirety. If nurses are going to be penalized for admitting or speaking up about mistakes, failure to report errors will occur and silence will dominate. #IStandWithRaDonda @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

The healthcare system has already lost hundreds of thousands of nurses as a result of the detrimental effects of COVID-19. Are we really going to shake it even more by adding the threat of criminal charges? #RaDondaVaught @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

Dear registered nurses, I am deeply sorry that the system has failed you, and continues to fail you. #RaDondaVaught #MakeAChange @mossisnice

he Nurses with Attitude (NWA) youtube page shines a lot of light on the struggles and lack of support encountered by healthcare workers and they have uploaded an eye-opening video about the RaDonda Vaught case. Check it out! https://t.co/W65GX3Wlga #NursesWithAttitude @mossisnice

Nurses are like icebergs, at any one time you are only seeing ⅕ of what they are actually doing. They deserve more appreciation and more support. #Nurses #RaDondaVaught @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

No matter how good the nurse, each and every one of them is bound to make a mistake at some point in their career. Nurses join the healthcare industry with the intent of saving lives, not ending them. #Nurses #RaDondaVaught @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

So… we are going to let the police walk away with murder and still allow them to work but we will criminally charge nurses for their honest mistakes? #RaDondaVaught #IStandWithRaDonda @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

Mistakes happen. Human errors happen. It’s how you deal with them that matters. RaDonda Vaught reported the incident immediately, yet is still facing up to 4 years in jail. There is no room for learning and human-ness in healthcare anymore. #HealthCare #RaDondaVaught @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

People wonder why there's a shortage of nurses around the world and this is why. The blame should not be placed on the person behind the medical error, it should be placed on the broken system, the reason these mistakes happen in the first place. #RaDondaVaught @mossisnice

“Make mistakes because we are humans, not robots” - Boney Chako Vincent #HealthCare #WeAreNotRobots #RaDondaVaught @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

This prosecution has sent trembles throughout the healthcare systems all around the world. The system must fix their weaknesses and limitations. I stand with #RaDondaVaught @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

Every nurse has made an error whilst on the job. Discussing these mistakes and near-mistake experiences is how patient care can be improved, also helping improve the education of new nurses too. #RaDondaVaught @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

Nurses are quitting because of the Vaught verdict. It really “isn’t worth the possibility or likelihood that this will happen” says a nurse from Portland. Doesn’t this say something to anyone? #RaDondaVaught #NurseTogether @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

Not guilty of homicide and it was a medical error? We are human, not robots. Oh how the world is unfair to those who put their lives on the line to help others. #RaDondaVaught @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

How could one individual face criminal charges and the hospital not receive any responsibility? Even a Tennessee Bureau of Investigations Agent defended Vaught and claimed that the “fatal error was made possible by systemic failures at Vanderbilt.” #RaDondaVaught @mossisnice

[Amelia Sunderland @milliesunder]

Now more than ever nurses need a fair and equal change to the system. No nurse deserves criminal prosecution for the system's flaws and failures. Help be the change. #RaDondaVaught @mossisnice
