That is incorrect.
She is a LVN, not an RN and she works in a Kaiser facility.
There is a huge difference in education, qualifications, and duties between and LVN and and RN.
She is NOT an RN.
Ok THIS is important because she has claimed to be an "RN", or a "surgical nurse" in hundreds of articles over the past few weeks and that was NEVER corrected by anyone in the family. So chalk up yet another claim from the family that doesn't hold up as complete truth. I am getting mighty tired of being fed a steady diet of exaggerations, fanciful info that flies in the face of reality and downright untruths.
On a different note, we (the posters here) have wondered about the 2 opinions that Jahi's mother got for her before surgery and we wondered did both opinions agree or did one advise against surgery while the 2nd recommended it.. Turn out that according to Jahi's mom, the both doctors she consulted agreed.
"Jahi's mother, Nailah, and stepfather, Marvin Winkfield, had a sleep study done on Jahi and got two medical opinions on her case. Both times, doctors recommended a tonsillectomy to improve her condition. "They said that she would have more energy, focus more, lose weight and the urinating would stop," Sealey said. "

This above link contains a link to the story which was on CNN. But even more interesting is that this story is on a forum where med students discuss things and Jahi's story has generated 3 pages of very interesting and well educated comments.
