New day

Slightly better today than yesterday but my anxiety level is through the roof.  Can't shut off my thoughts. Am I going to lose my job? My license? My home? What happens now? I feel incredibly alone right now. Sitting on pins and needles waiting for a decision. I know I made a huge mistake and I own that.  But is this mistake going to cost me everything? Still hoping for the best but trying to prepare for the worst. For now, I made it through the night that I was not sure I'd make it through. The sadness and heartache are overwhelming. Praying for better days to come.

Glad you're feeling better today.  Some of most hardest lessons to learn in nursing are learned the hard way.

I don't understand why they wouldn't let you do a late documentation as this only helps them.  

If no harm came to the patient because you didn't document it then I don't think it was negligent.  Too bad they aren't more understanding. 

Hang in there.

Thanks, Tweety. 

    I am glad that you are feeling  little better. I understand your concern about your livelihood, but I suggest reviewing this past thread:

    Similar to a poster on this linked thread, I get updates from my state Board of Nursing. Offenses that result in discipline are predominately drug/alcohol related, taking advantage of vulnerable patients, or fraud. I can't believe the state would find it reasonable to even investigate a missing chart note. 

    Gosh, if this is the way that facility treats travelers, I can only imagine how they treat their core staff.

    Thank you, NurseJ22, the article did make me feel a little better. I keep having to remind myself that I have been in far worse situations, and that no matter what the outcome is, I am going to get through it and be alright. Valuable lesson learned from all this to write any notes right now and not at the end of a shift. I love being a nurse and working with people and families. But after this, I think I will be putting aside traveling.
