New Grad to ICU: Episode 2 - Medication Safety and Preventing Medication Errors - In Response to RaDonda Vaught Trial

In today's episode of New Grad to ICU we talk about ways to practice safety with medication and how to help prevent medication errors. I have had quite a few nursing students and new grads reach out to me regarding the RaDonda Vaught Trial and express how they are now anxious to enter the workforce and have something similar happen to them. You all have the tools to help prevent errors like this from happening and hopefully listening to this episode will help you realize ways that you can practice safely.
