Am I in trouble for this when I go back to work?

I am such a fool, lol. I am newly qualified and still on induction, today I put in an NG Tube for the first time. I was with an agency nurse (as usual) and I asked her to show me the procedure. I was only doing a half day and just realised that I forgot to document doing it and I do not think she documented either.

I am "supernumerary" but I don't think it's an excuse, I just totally did not remember. I phoned the ward just now and told the co-ordinator to ask her to remind the agency nurse (who is still there doing a long shift).

Will they be mad do you think? I want to make a good impression but I keep doing dumb things.

They might not even mention it. It is a good thing that you remembered and called in. If it is brought up, just say you forgot and that you will try to do better. At the end of each shift, you should stop in front of the charts and ask yourself, "Is there something I need to chart?", before you head for the time clock to go home. It is so easy to forget to chart.

That's exactly what I did, I saw it was 4pm and was like "YES! Time to go!"

In the changing room as I was leaving, the above agency nurse was hiding on her phone and booking more shifts with the agency. I was trying to give her some sort of handover but she was like "hold on!" and I handed a few other things over but she was a bit disinterested.

I am definitely going to make sure I check everything more carefully before I go
