Ebola Patient Amber Vinson's "Cousin" Calls Paul Begley On Air

This article by nurse Susanne is one of the first intelligent articles I’ve read in regard to what has happened in Dallas. What I am about to say neither negates the responsibility of our government, the CDC Director, or the Administrator/Director of the Dallas hospital. Miss Amber Vinson displayed a terrible lack of personal responsibility, and empathy or compassion for the community at large by getting on that plane…..twice. Nurse Vinson displays the inability to use critical thinking skills. Skills that are so terribly important in the nursing profession. I’m tired of hearing excuses, and seeing her family member on CNN making excuses for her actions makes me even more disgusted. Nurse Vinson, I wish you a speedy recovery from this horrible virus, but when the dust settles I will be among those who will be calling into question your ability to practice. You should lose your nursing license, and if people become victims of this virus due to you having spread it…..you should be prosecuted….lack of protocol, lack of supervision/training, and lack of proper equipment all aside…………you are responsible for the actions you take and you got on a plane not once but twice when you were supposed to be monitoring yourself for any possible signs of having the deadly Ebola. Shame shame on you nurse Vinson. There are four things that are needed in the nursing profession. 1; Critical Thinking Skills, 2; the ability to solve ethical and moral dilemmas with regard to nursing practice. 3; Nerves of steel, and 4; The ability to show compassion/empathy for your patients and fellow man. Nurse Vinson I do not see that you have demonstrated any of these. The buck stops with you…..you got on the plane…..twice and obviously didn’t take any of this seriously.
