New and not so nurses, DO NOT, drag me in a pts room to verbally and physically show me a minor error I have made regarding pt's care in front of 5 grieving family members and a critically ill pt. Privately confront me like a professional, and do not "SHOW me", while all eyes on board. If it is an all he## breaks loose night and we are short staffed while trying to console family members, it will not make anyone feel more comforted that this did not get hooked up to that, regardless if it affected pt's condition. I tell you I know right from wrong, but things get hairy, and it does not make YOU look like a savior. Never confront cooworkers in front of family members or patients! Hope this tip sticks.

This pt did NOT die. Just went downhill fast before I received her and it was a juggling act to keep her stablized for 13 hrs. If you need more info, you are missing the whole point. Thanks for the concern.
