   Unfortunately, you will experience this many times and you do need a break! Go to your doctor and describe what you are feeling and get some time off. Or just slow down working. Med-surg/onc is a very heavy area, I do work on a surgical floor and it ...

   actually I got the constructive points with what to do in the future, what bothers me is the "you shouldn't have done it and you should have done it" and "what king of nurse are you to do or not to do" part. As I said I am not here because I want to ...
