I was the calm in the storm. I reminded them that air was not controlled by a computer and we would survive. It would be like “camping nursing.” Midnight -NOTHING- and people felt stupid. I’m ready for that feeling again. It was priceless.

Hindsight 20-20. How could anyone know ahead of time how successful companies would be in fixing the problem? There was no agency making sure that every company was doing their due diligence.

That’s the way I looked at it, ESPECIALLY in nursing. We weren't even using infusion pumps yet.
