I need some help. I work in a MICCU 23 bed very large teaching facility in Chicago. The story goes like this; 2 nurse from us and the SICU respond to codes throughout the hospital. We go to a woman that is in respiratory distress and is actively seizing. After 4 attempts at an IV and 2 attempts at a central line, I attempted and gained access to a left EJ with a 20 gage angio that I was instructed to do by 2 residents. Patients intubated, stopped seizing and extubated 3 hours after getting to the unit and discharged home 2 days later. After code go to my manager explain to her what had happened and a hour later I was FIRED!!! Met with my boss and my bosses boss and HR today to see if I could get my job back , but to no avail didn't. I was told that I was outside my scope of practice. After reading all policies and procedures of the hospital and state practice act, I do not understand what the problem is. Can anyone help, it would be greatly appreicated. Thanks in advance.
