I dont know what to do

did you fail clinicals or class?

i would email your instructor (nicely) to just asked why you failed. maybe they can give you some helpful insight as to what went wrong and can better prepare you for the next time around. that being said, don't give up! you learn by making mistakes..don't beat yourself up over it. when you look back it will just be a small bump (among many i am sure) in the road to R.N :)

So I take it you failed clinical? I think that's pretty strict..however, falls are a big deal on a unit, regardless of the outcome. The doctor is called, a team comes to assess, an incident report is filed, and it looks bad on the primary nurse, the unit, and hospital. It's roughly comparable to a medication error.

I think it's that your clinical instructor did not warn you about failing. I had a similar incident, and my instructor gave me additional papers and assignments to complete, and told me I had to rock the rest of the rotation or I would fail. I passed.

Best of luck. It sucks, but you will just have to graduate a little later than you initially thought. You can, and will still be a nurse!!

Falls are a big deal in a hospital. Its also a big deal in the school when a student caused it.

i dont get how the other patient fell out of their wheelchair if they were sitting in it. You had to have hit it VERY hard, or they were standing on it.

All I can say is good luck and try not to beat yourself up about it
