This morning, which is my second last day to finishing up my 2nd semester clinical, one of my residents was due for a glycerine suppository. Unfortunately for me, I didn't double check one and Gravol suppository was given.

My instructor gave me hell for the first couple hours but calmed down...after things were settled with the Family doctor and the family of the Resident. Now, the school campus was notified and told my instructor that it's her decision whether or not I get to pass/fail.

She really doesn't want to fail me..because this is her first time instructing for clinicals and she just wants to be on good terms with the school and the group.

I felt so bad..throughout the whole day.. We had a long post conference talk about this matter and I was so upset at myself for doing what I did. She said she'll give me her decision by tomorrow..

I really don't want to repeat because it was 6 weeks of hard work (I was responsible for 5 residents) and I had one of the hardest clinical instructors out of my whole LPN class.
