Made a mistake. Cna

Published

Hello. I am really worried right now. I made a mistake by not closing the clamp on the catheter bag on a pt and there was urine all over the floor while I was doing my rounds. To make it worse, the family saw it and the supervisor was in there with them when I went in. The supervisor and the family didnt look upset but I felt horrified. The family even helped me clean the floor after I said they didn't need to. And the supervisor told me how to sanitize the floor. Would I be fired for something like this? I definitely learned my lesson.

That's happened to the best of us. If the person is on strict I&Os, I just try to estimate the spillage and move on.
