My first medication error-help!

I agree - you gave it as ordered, therefore committed no error. Just make sure you document, document, document!

I agree with everyone that you did not make an error, you asked your preceptor, and she said it was ok.

But even if you are in orientation and you are working with another nurse, if you do something, then you are responsible for that something because you have a license.
You are not working under anyone, you are being oriented to the job.
whatever you document is on you now----

when I started with my preceptor, I would write things on the chart that my preceptor told me, such as a telephone order--- and because I was new, I never questioned it, but now I never do that... if you talk to the doctor then you write it--
I used to write the order that she gave it, and write that I took the telephone order, when in fact I didn't talk to the doctor-------I know it's not a good thing to do now, but back when I was new, I just thought it was part of orientation. and never questioned it.
