4. Code Status- DNR After Resuscitation

   newnursemoon replied to newnursemoon's topic in General Nursing

   You’re exactly right. I reported the incident and the MD, the hospital supervisor is weighing options now. This wasn’t OK and I’m riddled with anxiety and guilt.

5. Code Status- DNR After Resuscitation

   OK well this shift was a doozy. So at 1835, another nurse called a code on my pt. She had been medically cleared for discharge for about 5 days, pt was pending placement at skilled nursing home. She was brought back quickly, but when I called the LAP...

12. New Grad: I Feel Stupid

    newnursemoon posted a topic in General Nursing

    I graduated in July of 2020, but due to health issues wasn’t able to apply/get a job until November of 2020. I’m in a PCU floor and am currently in week 5 of a 10 week training program. I absolutely hate it, but I’m in a contract where if I were to b...
