How did you deal with that? You're right, if my patient was severley, I'd probably understand. But they just got up with physical therapy, can back, and suddenly coded which is why PE is suspected. I just can't stop thinking about it

Thank you for your kind words, though there isn't too much reason for me to feel burdened, I do. Hoping it will pass soon.

Hello Nurses, I'm asking for help and possible similar situations. I am a first year nurse in Med Surg and just had my first patient pass. The patient was fine according to my assessment. The patient also did not have an underlying history As they were admitted for something minor though they had mental instability. Out of nowhere, the patient stopped breathing and a code was called in which they could not be saved. The doctor said it may have been a PE.. Im wondering, is this something you have ever seen happen? Just sudden and unexpected? i worry will this come back to me in any way if I missed something? I honestly don't know what I could have done, what I could have missed, as there were no signs of respiratory distress or history.. some insight would really help as I am losing sleep over this

Yes I will be enrolling in an RN program after finishing my prerequisites. But I would love the experience. Home health requires 1 year of acute experience. I'm trying really hard.

Hello all, I am a new LVN grad in So Cal. I received my license last July, over a year ago, and to this day after 3 interviews and so much hard work, have not found a job. I am almost considering going back to what I did prior to LVN school. It really upsets me that the market is so tough for LVNs. And although I have got advice to apply at SNFs and Nursing homes, I do not get responses from them as well. For all you LVN and RN's out there who have had the same struggle, please give me advice on what I can do. Anything recommendations and advice would be so helpful. FYI, I love nursing, I am completely dedicated to helping others and this is not just a "paycheck" for me. PLEASE HELP!! -Naomi
