Hi. I am a new Rn and I was just hired for my job at the end of November and I today was just fired for a med error (only 2 months!!) I feel like I am never going to get another job or maybe I just don't have what it takes to be a nurse. I was working at a long term care facility with about 18-20 patients. Which was alot for me right out of school (and never have worked in hospital before). I went to give a patient meds and she didn't take them and I left it in the room (STUPID MISTAKE!!!) and one CNA found the meds in the room and reported it. The part that got me fired was the fact that i didn't go back to give the patient her meds or inform the MD that she didn't take her meds/refused and they felt that they couldn't trust me to give meds to the patients correctly. I just feel like a total failure and I'm thinking I will never find a job as a nurse again. Has this happened to anyone?? Or do you know someone who was fired and found another job. I just really need a pick me up right now. I feel like a total loser.
