Nurse Call Systems

I am a registered nurse. I work in a general systems intensive care unit. Today I had a seriously ill patients and has been with her during my lunch break two hours late. I decided my friends house (across the street) will again have 15 minutes nap. It was three hours, I went back - the patient was good;! For the nurse was pale and charge nurse called my boss. I know what I did was irresponsible and I have no idea what to expect, what type of punishment or what to tell my boss. Any input would be appreciated. PS I love my job and I said (to have an intensive care nurse for 10 years has been) I'm good at what I do. Answer 3 days time - 1 hour ago. Additional information 1 hour ago A similar incident happened 6 months ago. I slept in my car (at night) and woke to my phone - it was the charge nurse asked me if I come back. I slept for about 2 hours. The hospital says that you get 45 minutes. This was not documented (thank goodness) but it happened. I was also late for work (2 to 5 minutes late) of 2 times in the past six months, the manager knows, but so far has not spoken to me about these incidents. Thanks for the answers yet. Do you think I should wait to be called at the office? Y "is a good idea to go tomorrow on my day off? I have no excuses and no clear idea on how to prevent it from happening again (if not, I stay in the hospital during breaks). You may need a break or coffee? So, basically, a promise to your boss will not anymore, and when you go by car or not sleeping, the alarm on the phone for you whenever you want. I suggest you wait until you are called to the office, do not fall on your vacation. To avoid this, simply stop taking a nap during your turn. I do not think you can be fired on the spot, which should give a first warning. Did you have any warning? If you do not worry too much. It seems you do not sleep enough at home, I mean nap during working hours, if I were you, because that would be a recurring event. And has several backup alarm to make sure if you decide to take a nap, you can still wake up in time. Good luck with the boss! I would say just to be honest, except perhaps that you take no longer sleeping at home for some reason and apologize. Then you will try not to let it happen again. If you really need a nap around 3 alarms - including a cell phone alert when one.mine has 3 alarms, you can set. It might be better to go in showing that you care and try to do something about the situation. So your boss is more likely to Leni. Looks a little more work, or you are not getting enough rest before you start work. Go talk to your boss and say just that.
