Hi! So I am a new grad nurse and I recently started a job in the emergency department. A few days ago my job had a surprise simulation code. I was out in triage and there was no patients, so the nurse training me stepped away for a moment walked out and it was me and a tech. Well maybe a minute later the surprise sim starts. A girl runs in screaming that someone is delivering a baby. Everyone gets up but no one is really moving. Then I spot my coworker not normally in the area being apart of the sim at the time. Anyway, I was asking the tech if she had seen where the other nurse went. She didn’t know and then she said let’s go out there and see what’s going on. That when I ran out the door to see manikin in the car. I would say every happened in less than 5 mins. We ran through the rest of the sim for the most part. But when I came back out the tech thought my response about asking for the other nurse was a funny response. I however do not. I have some anxiety and I want to be good a my job. But this experience just made me feel like my response to an emergency is wrong or delayed. But I keep thinking back to a time when I was at work (before the sim) and there was a real emergency I responded quickly even though there was no one else around to help really. Any advice for a new grad trying to feel somewhat confident in my nursing skills?
