Medication error

I need some advice. I made a medication error at work. I had a very hard day with a code and a new admission that I haven't even seen for three hours. I had another patient who had a systolic BP of 190 and she was symptomatic with a headache. I was still trying to pass two o'clock medications at 6 p.m. Anyhow I had given the patient hydralazine which was to be administered IV but the patient did not have IV access. So after looking at the vial making sure I have the correct medication I administer the medication IM. I did not verify that the med was not ordered as IM. I have currently been suspended and I am freaking out that I'm going to lose my job over this. Any advice, I have to go see the CNO on Monday.

    ... Mistakes are tools to keep us in line and train our brains to be aware of that thing in the future.

    To Kaylee - I like this idea. That's how we learn from our mistakes.

    Well spoken.
