I have one more week and i’m on my own i am scared and nervous but i think i have the essential down i know i’m not going to know everything but its just something in me or back of my mid i’m just anxious and just anxiety idk why. I’m just really nervous on top I’m contemplating wether i like nights more than days. Idk really i just idk. I think i’m just overthinking it and making my self anxious.
So on this floor i never witnessed a code especially as a pct i tried my best to be helpful in any way. So what happen was it was literally at shift change tech went in introduced her self and pt was perfectly fine only saying hard to breathe his NC was like off the nose a way but anyways wasnt my pt so getting ready to leave saw the nurse running literally running we went to see and she started to yell call code code so someone called i got the vital machine and honestly idk what i was doing i put the o2 on him but they was doing cpr and i just leave it their atleast it was open if they needed only thing i actually did was putting on AED pads on the pt thats it after i tried to get out the way and see if any help with compression but the night residents wanted to do it more so they push up to gwt a chance but mainly i was watching everything very very interesting and intense i was very scared and nervous but they intubated and took the pt to ICU what brought the code was 2 critical troponin levels and came in for stemi and chest pain but luckily the pt is fine and on levo now and intubated
I just wanted to share sorry for the grammar, but now just adrenaline and imma try to sleep
I have 2 more weeks of orientation and honestly i dont feel ready to be by myself i feel like i need two more weeks with my preceptor then i might be good? Maybe idk most of my fear with being by myself is that idk if i’m ready i feel like i am but at the same time i feel anxious and i might make a mistake
I work on days on a renal medsurge bariatric too i believe and overall i feel like i’m doing a not so bad job i do get remarks that i’m doing okay but i think i’m too negative to myself and i talk myself down that i might doing a bad job
But overall i just really hate not knowing what to do especially with certain situations i haven’t dealt with before
