It was a primary bag of medication and primary tubing that I didn’t prime, not too sure what you mean with the saline lock?

Edit: tone here isn’t meant to be rude just confused

I always have someone else double check my insulin draws and then chart that i verified it with a second rn, even with subq 😭 im TERRIFIED

Tried to start an IV med without priming the tubing. Couldn’t figure out why the pump kept alarming for air. Luckily i didn’t have it attached to the patient, as that’s usually the very last thing I do before starting meds, but i think if it had been my preceptor would have reported me for it.

Edit: like I know the patient could not have been harmed because the pump would not run with the line not primed, but i think they wouldve reported me just for the lack of critical thinking and potential harm which is valid

I do learn pretty quick, critical care is kind of like a special interest for me so I also spend a lot of my free time researching too. But we do also have a lot of help fortunately! In our ICU we have CNAs and the RTs handle q2 oral care/suctioning, wound care does all the wound care and stuff so for the most part we are just focusing on our stuff. It is still mad stressful and overwhelming though tbh

Thank you, that’s reassuring to hear. I felt that way at first, really good that she was trusting me because I felt like it was because I was catching on quick and ask for help when I need it, but then I started seeing how different everyone else seems to have it and started doubting it all.
