I have been making some mistakes recently at work and I'm trying to decide what's happening.
I am a Med/Surg nurse with 6 years experience. In the past few months I have had 3 instances of forgetting to call a doctor with important information. This has resulted in 2 written warnings and currently a 2 shift suspension.
I firstly need advice as to not making these mistakes again; secondly, is it possible to keep my position after a suspension or is it just a matter of time before termination?
I really like my position and can't figure out why I'm messing up.
Sorry that you lost your job. I agree that when I worked med surg I kept a brain sheet and wrote things down and crossed them off as I went. In ICU I had a sheet in each room that I kept a running list of things I needed to do and crossed off as I went. I noticed you said you have thyroid issues, I hope that gets straightened out.
