I find this story hard to believe. All of the admits in such a short time and all crumping in a small hospital. I don't believe it for one minute. How big is your facilty (beds) and how many of those are ICU? No ER would constantly keep dumping patients on you like that. And since when does a surgeon come assess a new admit without being consulted first? I find it hard to believe paramedics would dump a crumping patient on you on the floor without going through the ER first. All of this seems greatly exaggerated or completely fabricated. If you have nurses on the floors having 10 patients a piece it is not management's fault it is the nurses fault for accepting the assignments.

1.) Adult Patient with multiple complications go from complete asystole to a perfect sinus tachycardia with one dose of epi 1:10,000 IV push? 2.) Patient biting down when attempting to bag them but the patient being in asystole? 3.) As someone who has been involved in several hundred codes who has never seen the above, would you say a sentinel event/negligence occurred if the above happened, yet you witnessed that the patient was not properly hooked up to BOTH cardiac monitors in the trauma room?

sorry that's $3.33/hr for 15 hours.

You are getting paid hourly $3.06/hr for 15 hours

one more question? How many times can you retake the exam or does it vary by state? thanks
