A couple of weeks ago a student came in and states she got hit on her head with a metal pole. I looked and palpated and saw no visible injury. Ice was given. She was alert and oriented x3 , no N/V. She's also a frequent flyer and comes to the HR on a weekly basis. Long story short: Her mother calls the principal today and asked why did I not call home or send a parent letter home ? The parent was upset. I admit I did make a terrible mistake in not notifying the parent. I've already beaten myself up about it. I should of called or sent a note or something. I feel really bad. The parent says the student have been C/O of a HA since the injury. She has been in the HR alot C/O HA before the injury as well. So maybe she's really sick. She also had a really bad tooth infection that I advised mom to take her to the Dentist ASAP, and maybe that contributed to her HA.
I think that I'm too stressed right now to do my job. I'm a student nurse and with nursing constantly on my mind I think it kind of distracts my mind a little while at work. Being in school and working full time has cause me to be stressed, have anxiety, and be depressed. The children deserve a way better person to care for them. My worst night mare have came true. My worst nightmare have always been that I'll be too stressed from NS that I'll actually perform poorly at work, which is exactly whatI 've done. :crying2::crying2:
I think I'm going to quit working until I'm done with nursing school. Yes, I'll be broke however it breaks my heart that something major can go undetected just because I'm overwhelmed and stressed.
Even the principal told my boss that I've been a little uptight....
I don't know I just feel terrible. Every morning before work I pray to GOD that he'll touch each and every kid and also enable me to care for them. I just have to do whats best for me and the school. They are much better off with out me anyway. I know I care for them alot, however with the stress of nursing school I feel like I'm mentally not able to do this anymore.
Thanks for reading. I'm sorry if its hard to read, clearly I'm still shaken up by the whole incident. :crying2:
