ok, I failed my first checkoff on sterile dressing change because I grazed my breast w/the palm of my hand and didn't realize it to call it. Luckily today on my retake I passed but the instructor told me that I came VERY close to making the same mistake They aren't messing around in my program and have already kicked out 40 people! I came very close to messing up this opportunity. What I'm worried about is that on Thursday I have to do a foley catheter insertion checkoff and don't want to make the same mistake. Is there anyway to practice keeping sterile field? I have a friend who would have been a 2nd yr student but failed that is coming over tomorrow night to help me practice w/a grapefruit so she can keep an eye on my hands.
I'm lucky that she's offered to do this but is there anything that I can do on my own? I really had no idea on either checkoff that I was messing up/almost messing up.
