Re: Share your 1st times mistakes as a nurse for the unexperience nurse to learn from
- If you give a drug, make sure you know the drug info, admin time/method before you do a thing.
- Check and label your lines: when the proverbial hits the fan, you need to know what IV access you have and what goes where.
- Get your replacement inotropes well before they run out.
- Never never never give potassium quickly.
***If you ever get a bad feeling before doing something, DON'T DO IT**. Check with someone else - better to look like a doofus than kill someone.
