Nurse on Trial: Reckless Homicide or Honest Mistake?

A Tennessee nurse is on trial for mistakenly giving out the wrong medication, leading to a patient’s death. Radonda Vaught was charged with reckless homicide in the death of 75-year-old Chalene Murphey at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. Vaught was supposed to give her patient a mild sedative, but instead administered vecuronium, a powerful paralyzing agent that comes with a warning label. Fellow nurses from around the country are rallying behind Vaught to show their support.
