I worked as a nurse in Acute Care for 6 years then transferred to Critical Care. My orientation went well with a great Preceptor. A year in a half in, I floundered in a situation where a patient weaned off the ventilator went went into respiratory distress and I did not get her bagged and back to baseline fast enough. She was re-intubated and an incident report was filed. The patient's family also filed a complaint. I accept full responsibility for my actions, but am now questioning my abilities as a critical thinker and as a nurse. Help was available, I did not respond aggressively enough. Feedback on how to handle this situation and prevent another one appreciated.
