There are days where you wonder whether you are experienced and good enough to be a nurse

Today is one of them. Today I allowed the drs to discharge a pt who I had a feeling was not ready to go home, 5 hrs later he comes back in via ambulance with the possibility that he isnt going to survive, in reality it isnt really my fault as I wasn’t the person who made the decision to send him home but I should have made more of an effort to convince the drs, I should have picked up that some of his symptoms wernt cause he was old ( I don’t know what’s wrong or whether he is ok but I don’t think he is) on top of this I had a nurse be a total hard arse and question everything making me feel like an ant :( glad I have 2 days off
