Sherp, Forgive me but your just plain wrong. You know that nursing shortage everyone is hollaring about? Well it is being filled with people who "fast track" in. Duke does't hire "the best and brightest", I know as one of my classmates who took FIVE tries to pass the boards was hired there (once they passed). Want to know where they hired him? Why in the ER of course!. Sherp, unless your a nurse you have no clue what a new grad knows or don't. I graduated Summa Cum Laude and frankly as far as the PRACTICE of nursing goes, I was clueless. OH I had wonderful test scores, could recite tons of cool information and explain down to the bioengineering level how stuff happens but that is NOT what nursing is about. It takes a minimum of 3 to 5 years for a nurse to become truly functional. It takes a minimum of that for an ER nurse to be able to do more than the very basics. For Duke to have hired someone with ONE YEAR of nursing school and then with less than a year of on the job training and even LET them try to be a forensic nurse is a travesty. The facts are there Sherp, period. Levicy was not only incompetent, but Duke, in violation of not only their own internal policy but that of the IAFN allowed a baby nurse into an advanced practice field. Given the things she did, I can assure you it wasn't because she was a "best and brightest". |
