interview and errors


Just wanted to let you guys no I finally got an interview in a couple days. It sounds like its only part-time to start, but is in town. I have'nt had one in awhile so hope it goes ok. btw, my other job called today and said I made some med errors the other night. The first ones I have made there, I don't no why so many that night. Although they are not "that bad" it discourages you when it happens. One was for giving maalox to the wrong resident (2 had the same first name and I thought the aide said the one I gave it to). Then I gave a narc to a resident when he was supposed to have 2 of them (I should have known as he gets them on a schedule, but must have been in a hurry). And the last thing was I took a narc out of the edk when there were some already in the narc drawer already (I would have sworn the nurse reporting off said I would have to get some out of the edk and I think I even looked in the drawer for them). Anyway, I don't think any of them were that big of a deal, but it sounds like I have to fill out a med error report when I work again. I just hope I don't make any more errors there like I did at the jail.
