Hi. I have a serious question to ask. OK so. A pt had an order for Dilaudid q6. I thought it was q4 because his oxy was q4. I gave it ONE time four hours apart. Realized my mistake at the end of the shift. Didn't tell anyone. Pt is a-OK, still alive. This happened two weeks ago, and it's been eating me alive bc IDK what to do. It's in the chart that I gave it four hours apart, and the order was q6.
Can I lose my license??
I want to tell my manager. But I'm scared. But it's already done, so I'm either gonna lose my license or not at this point. But can someone with experience please shed some light and perspective on this situation????
Thank you so much in advance.
