Welcome back for a special episode of Good Nurse Bad Nurse! We are excited to announce that we are uniting forces with a series of podcasters for a podcrawl with a focus on delirium. This week we are joined by Kali Dayton, nurse practitioner and host of Walking Home from the ICU podcast. We tackle the story of nurse Eyvette Hunter. When a request to sedate a distressed, elderly patient was denied, nurse Hunter allegedly took matters into her own hands and administered a sedative medication. Nurse Hunter is facing the legal consequences of her alleged actions. Nurse Kali takes the reigns to share our Good Nurse story regarding nurse Polly Bailey. Nurse Bailey has improved the quality of care and life for patients in the ICU by demonstrating that early activity is feasible and safe in respiratory failure patients.
