it wasnt really my choice to travel....family emergency, but all the same I am not complaining about it being such a bad assignment as much as I feel as if I witnessed an actual train wreck happen to this poor little girl who already had enough problems. They wouldnt even order D50 to tx her bs of 40 for God sakes! I just felt like they were killing her rather than helping her

First Time Traveler....half Way Through My Contract And Have Witnessed Multiple Patient Safety Issues And Two Sentinal Events. I Have Voiced My Concerns To The Dirrector Of The Icu And He Said, "i Wish People Would Just Show Up And Do Their Jobs And Not Worry About A Bunch Of Other Stuff". This Morning A 27 Y/o Female Was Intubated In The Right Mainstem And Despite All Of The Obvious Signs Pointing To Anoxia, The Md Refused To Reintubate Until He Got The X-ray Back...basically 45 Min Into The Code. X-ray Showed What All The Signs Were Pointing To And Pt Now Has Anoxic Brain Injury. Also Md Refused To Put In A Line, Order Gtts Or...ok You Get The Point. I Cant Stand By And Be A Part Of This Anymore So I Called My Agency And Asked To Break My Contract....they Will Charge Me 2500.00. Anyone Have Anything Similar Happen? Do I Really Have To Pay Due To A Grossly Negligent Hospital? Am I Over Reacting? Please Advise.
