Nurse Cullen Research Paper

The television screen showed the image of a nurse, murdering the people he was supposed to be saving, by injecting them with his own concoctions of drugs. The disgust was beyond imaginable, as he was expected to be the one that saves people, yet he broke that expectation as the unprotected patients’ lives faded away. Charles Cullen was a New Jersey nurse who broke the bond of trust between nurses and patients. I knew that I had to do this project on him because he changed United States history by creating more laws for hospitals and nurses, so that they patients’ rights were not violated.

Richard Benjamin Speck was born in Kirkwood, Illinois December of 1941. In 1966 Speck seized the hearts of many after slaughtering eight female nursing students who live in Chicago. Speck had a tattoo on his arm and it said “BORN TO RAISE HELL”. He has had a history of violence against woman, because of his hatred for his mother. After his killing spree in 1966, there was said to be a manhunt that lead to his arrest two days later. Speck went to prison and died at the age of 49 years old by way of a heart attack (Edward, 2007).

Following hurricane Katrina, a hospital that was evacuated because of the storm was revisited. Over a dozen bodies were found inside. The hurricane killed all the power and running water, causing the temperatures inside to rise well above 100 degrees. Still, investigators were baffled at the number of dead bodies in the run down hospital and were stunned when hospital workers claimed that a well-known doctor and two highly respected nurses had induced the deaths of some left behind patients by injecting them with lethal doses of morphine. Paramedics eventually carried out 45 corpses from the hospital! Over a year later, investigators released evidence that arrested the doctor and nurses involved in the deaths of four patients.

Nurse practitioners are advanced practice registered nurses who have received special courses and training. They usually work closely with doctors and can perform many high-level primary care tasks. They often specialize in specific types of practice such as pediatrics, psychiatry, or obstetrics. Some establish private practices; however, most work in doctors' offices, hospitals, or neighborhood health centers. Their duties often include taking detailed medical histories and performing complete physical exams, providing diagnoses and recommending treatment plans, treating common medical conditions, illnesses, and injuries, prescribing limited medications, and counseling patients and families. They also care

The fact that a man, Roberto Venegas, was killed at Creedmoor at the hands of the aids that were supposedly there to help is inexcusable. He was bound in a straitjacket without the permission of a doctor then was further restrained to a pole. On the day of his death a nurse had heard screaming and found that Mr. Venegas had been put into a straitjacket and was being sat on by two therapy aids (Shenon 8). The fact that two people who were there to help him heal and help him get well were treating him like this and later were responsible for his death is awful. With public care, the

Most of the treatment towards patients were ethical, like Cheryl was treated very well and she felt like she didn’t deserve such treatment. Having to tie down some of the patients that weren’t a threat was kind of overkill, some would have walked or sat nicely on the bed when they were taken into Bellevue. Tying the patients to the bed is what made them very mad and pushed them over the edge. Some of the patients that could leave Bellevue should have slowly gone into the outside world instead of just letting them go on their own, without any help. Bruce should have taken the medication instead of going to court to have Bellevue not give him medication. Without the medication he wouldn’t get any better. The hospital could have met him in the middle and given him a smaller dose of the medication that would still help him without the side effects that would make him depressed or have difficulties with speech and movement. Without the medication Bruce couldn’t be helped in anyway. The employees at Bellevue take their job very seriously and they do everything in their power to calm down patients when they have a break down or dangerous outburst. The employees manage to laugh at some things, like having their finger be bitten off by a man. They are very professional do, they try to be as honest as they can to the patients, even if they are only partial truths. One of the patients asked an employee if god was punishing her for something and that was why she was the way

As the school year comes to an end, many high school careers with it, there's a lot of decisions that seniors have to think about. In order to better prepare themselves for life, many of the students and Gary High School have been doing research on both jobs and education. There are many things to consider when preparing for the future such as what to study during college and for the rest of your life. One particular student says that she would like to be a nurse, but she would have to endure many years of schooling and a rather large amount of clinical hours. This research paper outlines everything that would have to be done in order to secure someone's future as a registered nurse.

The Salary of an RN is about $36.94 per hour, but the work schedule of a nurse is crazy. Nurses never really get a break especially floor nurses. I have talked to quite a few nurses and they have said that since you don’t truly get a break you tend to gain weight do to constantly eating/snacking. The education needed to be a Registered Nurse would be a Bachelor Degree which is a four year process. To be a Registered Nurse or RN you will need no training. On the job you will administer basic health care which is a temporary health coverage program for low-income, uninsured United States citizens or permanent legal residents of Contra Costa County. As an RN you will being giving patients intravenous medications. An intravenous

5. Angels of mercy medical professionals will kill their patients for financial gain, or just because they can, or they feel like they are helping their patients by getting rid of the pain or sickness.

I have scheduled an interview and time to observe a nurse leader with the Director of Nursing (DON) for the Virginian Nursing and Rehab facility in Fairfax, Virginia for Thursday October 2, 2014 at 7:30am. I plan on spending a full eight-hour shift with the nurse leader observing the following three leadership activities: 1) Observing her making rounds on the units 2) Observing and or participating in a nursing leadership meeting and 3) Observing the facility’s interdisciplinary team meeting.

Barnabas Hospital, he injected a lethal overdose medication to an elderly patient. In an interview, later Cullen admits to taking the lives of 11 other patients at St. Barnabas. After a short stay, Cullen left his job at St. Barnabas in 1992 and took a nursing job at Warren Hospital in Phillipsburg, where he continued his career as a serial killer. Cullen was an organized serial killer because he was very intelligent and well organized to the point of being perfect. Every detail of his crimes was planned well in advance, he also was very careful and made sure he didn’t leave behind any evidence. Has admitted to killing 3 elderly women there by giving them overdoses of digoxin. One victim he took the life of was 90-year-old Lucy Megaera who is thought to be his first victim He injected her with Digoxin, which is used to treat symptoms of congestive heart failure. Digoxin is dangerous for elderly patients, proving an easy way to commit murder for Cullen (Webb & Sun, 2015)

She was tortured until her body could not take it anymore and died of respiratory failure at the age of 15. Doctors and scientists routinely used patients in mental hospitals as lab rats without consent of their parental guardians. While many of the patients at Crownsville had treatable diseases, they were not given the proper medical attention they deserve. It was found that many died from common diseases that would have been treated if this was a hospital for white patients instead. It was a common occurrence that black patients were treated poorly by their doctors and taken advantage of routinely.
