The Criminalization of Nursing Errors: What Nurse Leaders Can Do to Ensure Patient Safety, Support Staff, and Promote a Just CultureOctober 24, 2022 An all-new, free On-Demand Webinar by Edie Brous, JD, RN. An on-demand viewing link will be emailed to all registrants on or about November 2, 2022. In today’s challenging health care environment, with high pandemic-induced nurse burnout and moral injury along with staffing shortages, adverse events and near misses are not uncommon. The recent case of RaDonda Vaught, who was found guilty and sentenced to three years supervised probation after mistakenly administering the wrong medication that killed an elderly patient, makes it clear that nurses can be prosecuted and face the risk of being imprisoned for errors. The efforts to develop a just culture within which nurses trust that they can and should report errors without blame are now in danger of weakening or being abandoned. As a nurse leader, you are in a pivotal position to support your staff, promote safer systems, and develop a just culture within your organization.
