Loading ...Yep you can move over to less paperwork or pts but physical and stress still there.
I was watching a ER show the other day and had to hand it to this male nurse.
He found a complication most of us have come across with probably hiring of foreign help and getting little or no teamwork. A doctor was defibing a Pt in cardiac arrest and this female new nurse just froze. He got her to do the shock but when she did she didn’t say clear.
The doctors stethoscope was on the metal rail. The male nurse yelled no but she did it anyways killing the doctor.
So here’s the male nurse with two people in arrest at once and no help. Luckily they got a beat on the patient so he states CPR on the doctor while telling the frozen nurse what to do running back and forth between the two. He had to start a airway in the doctor which could kill him if he didn’t do it right and only did it once in a dummy. Meanwhile the wife of the PT saying what about my husband. No other doctor was around. The nurse sounded like a Christian and he did a hell of a job saving both lives in the end. One good nurse.
Point is there is a time you have to make a choice whether you could put other lives in danger because you might not be up to things like that happening and they do in different forms.
Even if you taper down like me my nurse friend said a friend of hers did too older than me by a few years and had a stoke. She said she recognized it and called for help before she couldn’t. To get out while you still have your health she was saying. At some point sober or little later I will.
