I've been a nurse since November 2005 on a Telemetry unit. 3.5 weeks ago I went to ICU. My first week on my own, I had a code. When I came to work 3 days later, I had a respiratory code right at shift change and the patient was intubated. The next night I came in, I got a patient from Med Surg, who was made a DNR about an hour after getting to me. He passed away 3 hours later. Ugh! After these experiences, I have been a nervous wreck! I dread going in, and I am soo stressed. Outwardly, you would never know it, but inside, I'm cringing. On tele, I never had a code, and the patient's weren't very critical. I'm terrified to keep going. Any advice would be appreciated!
