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.

Mr Begley I listened to your broadcast, my family and i live in the midwest and after hearing all the excuses it made me feel ill. She, Amber Vinson is responsible for her own actions……….It doesn’t matter what the CDC siad and didn’t say, or the Hospital Administrator said or didn’t. Nurses need to be able to show some ability to think for themselves. This is a terrible display of not taking responsibility for her actions. Her and her family can argue all they want that she didn’t know…………..as soon as her coworker came down with Ebola the same weekend Nurse Vinson was in ohio…. and nurse vinson realized her temp was going up.nurse Vinson should have stopped what she was doing and realized she may have a problem….not just her problem, but by not using common sense or any critical thinking she boarded a second plane…..thereby putting all those individuals at risk. She put the greater community at risk…and her own family….loved ones, friends. i truly hope nothing comes of this, but if there are deaths….then this could, and perhaps should be considered criminal. Shame on you for putting me and my family at risk as well as our community. While i pray for your speedy recovery, your lack of personal responsibility in boarding that plane shows many of us that you should not be practicing medicine in the future.
