    RaDonda Vaught a former Vanderbilt University Medical Center Nurse who was the subject of one of the highest profile healthcare criminal cases in recent years. While working as a BSN prepared registered nurse, Mrs. Vaught committed a medication error that ended the life of a patient in 2017.

Additionally, she was charged under criminal law and found guilty by jury trial of two felony charges in March of 2022: Negligent Homicide, and Abuse of an Impaired Adult, with placement on an Elder Abuse registry in the state of Tennessee.
