Nursey,
Our prayers were heard! I am so happy to hear that this is over and you can now move forward. I am sorry to hear about your cat, though. Anyway, you also helped us realize that something like this could happen to anyone. Try to let go. "We" all learn from it. We all make mistakes and you are being given a chance to move on.

Glad to hear things are improving. Seems to me that you punished your self a whole heck of a lot more severely than any BON ever would over a med error. Take it, learn from it and continue to move on. That's the only thing you can do.
Some of my patients laughed at me when i had been with them all day long or for a few days in a row and would still read their bracelet, ask their name, tell them what the drug was, etc. But i too made a med error at one point and learned from it.
