The case of RaDonda Vaught, now 36, has spurred major conversations about nurses, how they are supported or not by the hospitals they work, and if a nurse who made a mistake should be considered guilty of homicide.

Vaught has admitted that she overrode the computer’s system to take out vecuronium, but also cited emails and training from Vanderbilt staff that encouraged nurses to override safety warnings for medications in order to efficiently administer medications. Overriding the medication machine is routine for many nurses, she has argued, and because Vanderbilt was in the midst of an electronic system overhaul, the nurses had been instructed to override the warnings because of the frequent technical errors that were occurring.

"Overriding was something we did as part of our practice every day," Vaught testifed. "You couldn't get a bag of fluids for a patient without using an override function."
