This is exactly what had happened to me! I'm glad everything worked out for you. I'm sitting around waiting to see what will happen to me. And yes, just like you I will feel terrible for months to come

Thank you everyone for your comments and insight. I have passed meds all last semester and always did the 7 rights however for some reason I did not this time and put my full trust in the nurse who pulled the bottle up. I am aware that this is also my mistake and I am devastated that this happened. I learned a great lesson that day and I'm sure my peers did also. I will NEVER make this mistake again.

I am in my third semester

I helped a nurse prepare an immunization for a child and administered the vaccine. It wasn't till after I administered the vaccine did I realize my nurse pulled up the wrong vaccine and the infant got a double dose of a vaccine that was given previously. I had to fill out an incidence report with my instructor today and I can't help but feel like this is my fault because I shouldn't have trusted that nurse and I should have reconfirmed what I was giving. I'm scared that this mistake might cost me my seat in the nursing program. Has this ever happened to anyone as a student?
