previous poster has excellent advice.. if you are the only nurse and the patient is a full code yell for help and start cpr.. and inservicing your aides frequently on this is an excellent way of having a backup plan.. i have had to do this before and believe me its the best you got .. making sure to know your policy and having that backup plan is the best insurance you have..

Good thinking.. not a good thing to rely on some nurses notes and no orientation.. and this You ought to be able to figure this out thing ... red flag bigtime.. i would have done the same thing.. hope the original poster considers and takes from your experiences.. kudos to you.. well done

I agree with the above poster.. also not trying to sound like a downer but in my honest opinion you just might be risking your license on this assignment.. until you are more seasoned please consider getting experience another way.. sure the money sounds good and it is but not worth taking that big of a risk.. agency nurses generally walk into an assignment cold.. and hit the floor running.. been there and done that for some years and i am a seasoned nurse.. you are setting yourself up for to be the scapegoat if something happens.. please please do reconsider and try to get a job onstaff somewhere.. just my two cents worth

Both the above recent posters have given excellent advice to you.. please think about what they have said.. I have been there before and I am not a new nurse.. For someone like that to bully and intimidate a nurse is just plain wrong.. keep your dignity intact by putting this behind you.. wishign you the best of luck in your endeavors

try to find another job as soon as possible.. all the above posters have good suggestions for you.. read and reread them.. think and rethink
