Oops:(

I'm almost there. i'll be graduating in june from a pratical nursing program. well today i gave a patient 12.5 mg of lopressor too early was suppose to get it q8. so the patient got 12.5 mg at 0530 and at 1030. I reported this to my instrutor and the charge nurse. I feel so bad i started crying. this goes to show my how serious being a nurse is these are peoples lives that are in our hands. Does this make me a bad nurse? I admitted to my mistake and monitored the patient continuously. After reading all these threads i guess i'm not the only one. My instructor wasn't even mad. she just said I would learn from my mistake. i just need some words of encouragement.:o

please play nice.

this is not the place for personal attacks.

thank you.:balloons:

OP, I'm not making excuses for you. you caught it, owned up to it and monitored. THAT is professionalism. My concern, even though you are about to graduate, we don't let our graduate administer meds on orientation without monitoring until MANY med passes later.... HOW were you allowed to give meds as a student without supervision?? uhoh3: .

In my clinical rotations, we are allowed to pass meds or give insulin injections after we have been supervised at least once, and checked off, by our instructor. After that, we are on our own if we feel comfortable. The only meds that we are continuously supervised each administration are ones like morphine pushes, fentanyl patches, etc.
