Just Breathe

Today was the worst day of my short nursing career. My patient "coded" at the end of my shift and came very close to dying. Without the fast reaction of the code team and my peers she would have died. I am a wreck and wonder if I really want to do this for a living. Now, after being home for half an hour I am getting calls from the ICU where the patient was transferred to with nit-picking complaints about how the transfer was performed. Thankfully I am off for a few days and can re-coop. Just needed to vent.

I feel you! But doesn't it feel good when they do survive. It makes it all worth it for me!
