First, I would plan for the worst case scenario. My team of executives would be drilled to test the system, find the limitations, and then assign a team to deal with them. It is too late when the event is happening to plan for the scenario. I think as follow-up to the crisis, the plans were executed very well. I also would not plan to take a flight out on the runway when the weather is so bad. I would do almost anything to prevent them from being stranded on the tarmac. It is my opinion that I would make drastic IT changes, starting…
The case of Bradley has a background which is getting more and more common in this day and age. The country as a whole created a major stigma for service members seeking help in the years that followed the Vietnam conflict and it has taken until the last decade or so to begin to turn that around. When considering options for how to treat this scenario, it must remain present in your mind that Bradley and his wife should have been involved in counseling for a long time now, but they haven't been. So there will be issues that need to be worked out but cannot be done right now. With that in mind, it's important to focus on what can be accomplished. Namely, disarming Bradley,…

Sometimes it is something that we can predict. Other times the crisis happens upon us suddenly and without warning. In departments such as the Emergency Department (ED), crisis can generally be expected and the ED staff can safely believe that there will be a crisis during their shift. The outcome of the crisis can depend on how it is approached and dealt with. A patient’s rapid deterioration of their state of health or arrest in front of the family is a common crisis situation that occurs where I work. This puts the staff as well as the patient and patient’s family in crisis mode. I feel that my job as the patient’s nurse is to make sure that the situation flows as efficiently as possible.

The nurse needs to be a leader, professional and assertive in order to…
