Feeling devastated:(

Hi everyone!

I previously made a topic about my new LTC job about a month and a half ago, and I must say, everything was going perfectly and I love it so much.

I only got good comments on my evaluations about how well I work, how great I am with residents and everything. But tonight, something terrible happened.

I work the evening shift so when my coworker went on her lunch break, I dressed some residents for the night. But I have a lady that has a belt on the chair she is in all day, and I forgot to put it back on her!!!!!! Result: the lady fell on the floor right when I came back from lunch :(

Luckily she was not armed, but I still feel awful about it. The last 4 hours of my shift were really hard to finish since I kept thinking about that, but my coworkers were really reassuring about it.

The charge nurse still wrote on my evaluation sheet that I'm doing great work, but that I should be more careful about not forgetting anything for residents' safety. I am scared since I am still in my 90 days probation period, is it possible that I'm going to be fired over this? What do you think is going to happen for me? I love the residents and this job so much, I just hope I did not ruin this:(

    I don't think you should feel bad about this, because what you did was not intentional. It is obvious you care for the residents. I feel after accidents such as these, you won't forget these crucial steps. Unfortunately, we will suffer a lot of hardship throughout out careers; things will not be perfect. Even so, we need to learn how to cope with our mistake, something I haven't learn to do.

    Best wishes, friend.
