I was reading another post called what was your worst mistake? I find reading about mistakes very informative and educational, but we never get kudos for all the good stuff we do. We just get lambasted (sometimes by others, often by ourselves). So, I want hear about your best "I rock" stories!
I don't have any great stories, but I'll share one recent encounter. I had a CHF patient who became fluid overloaded and went into respiratory distress. Doctor ordered P.O. lasix instead of IV. I took the time to double check that the doctor had indeed wanted PO (he didn't). I was a little hesitant to bother the doctor again, but he had a reputation of belittling staff. But, I did it anyway and he thanked me for calling (and changed the order).
