New nurse here. During one of my shifts, my pt that was on an amiodarone drip had an increase in HR. I called the doctor and got an order to give a 159 MG bolus. I gave the bolus over 5 minutes (not the 10). Does anyone know if there could be any side effects from this this? I know I was wrong, but would like to know how wrong. The pt is fine, and had nothing happen to them. Thanks in advance!

Thank you guys for the imput!!

Hello everyone, I'm a new grad, and have recently started working the floor on a critical care unit. I've noticed that my stress levels have been through the roof lately, and am looking for ways to deal with this whole process. I was thinking of going to a psychiatrist to talk to someone and find ways to cope. Can I get any feedback on that or ways to manage the stress? Thank you!

Thank you everyone for your feedback!! I will definitely look more into my license and what it entails to lose it. I've done some research, but just wanted to check.

Thank you. The chat was not on a work computer, it was my personal computer.

He is not a coworker. Just a guy I met off work who knows I'm a nurse

Not a patient.

No therapeutic relationship. And I do not have insurance.

I didn't even tell him I was a nurse on the actual chat.

No. It was just sexting with no pictures. I'm just scared because he is threatening to send them.

Hello everyone, I have a question. I was chatting with this guy, and the conversation turned sexual. When I rejected him, he threatened to send the chat to my manager and to the board of nursing. Could this make me lose my license or my job? There were no revealing images shared on my part or anything. It was just a chat. Thank you!
