NICU new grad mistakes

[tea.ns]

Hi, new grad here. It has been one month off orientation. I am devastated to say I have made 2 mistakes. The first one was related to an IV order that was ordered wrong by the resident and I was told I didn't have enough experience to catch. The patient was totally fine. The second one was with a discharge. It was a crazy shift. I forgot to complete the final newborn screen. It was brought to my attention the next day. I am freaking out. I have done many discharges and have always remembered to do it for some reason this time it must have slipped my mind. I think because during report me and the night shift nurse looked everything over and she said everything was there so subconsciously when I was looking everything over again and again it didn't dawn on me that it was missing. I was notified by e-mail that it was missing but now what happens? I am a complete mess. Has this ever happened to anyone?

Every person you work with, regardless of their experience, makes stupid mistakes (except for me, I'm perfect ??). You learn from your mistakes. No nurse has gotten through their first year without mistakes, we are human. Don't sweat it, you will be fine.
