   Thank you so much, easier said then done, right?! Yes, actually that is exactly the steps I took. Filled out the incident report, contacted MD, monitored pt., SUP notified. Thank you for your support.

   Thank you for responding. Here's the thing. My co-worker did tell me. Crying. When I first started, stating "let this be a lesson for you". I stay away from gossip. I'm known as the RNyogi. Never assume.

   Thank you. I did some reflecting since this post. I now realize I just don't pass meds until I can find another RN. I did take accountability. If it didn't show up in the wording, I can't be responsible for how people read things.

   I agree. I don't think they are firing me, however I haven't been able to eat thinking of that poor woman placed on a vent. Just sickening. I've been looking for other employment. Thank you for responding.

    keynurse replied to keynurse's topic in Medications

    I completely agree with you. Yes, it's my nursing judgement to give the med before the procedure, and yes, it did probably pop up on the scanner. I probably dismissed it, I don't remember. The thing is, at times we are so short staffed there is no ot...

    keynurse replied to keynurse's topic in Medications
