Not every general floor nurse knows the difference between sedatives and paralytics. ICU nurses give these all the time.

As an ICU RN I do agree that general floor nurses really have no clue about critical care, major issue here is giving them access to these meds via override. These meds aren't even available to floor nurses at my hospital.
Even then the nurse in question made some critical mistakes that go beyond just using the wrong med, once you give that med it is noticable that your pt is no longer breathing rather quickly. Even if she was giving versed she should be checking vitals and assessing her pt frequently.
