I feel like every time I leave a shift I forget to do something or chart something that can cost me my license. I have so much anxiety when I come home. For instance today, the last hour of my shift was hectic. I had a admit I took his weight and height, but I forgot to document it. It was written on the board in the patients room but I feel like this could cause me to lose my job because he is a CHF pt and knowing his weight is important. Also, I forgot to reassess a groin site and document it, so it went about 2 hrs without being assessed, and it needed to be assessed every hour.
I am just overly anxious because I worked really hard to get my license and I do not want to lose it. Also, I do not want to cause any harm to my patient at all because I can not remember to do these simply things that matter a lot. Is it normal to worry like this? And do you think I could get fired for these actions? I am honestly just freaking out at this point.
