CMA-RN29

I got all my RN re-reqs done in it and I get to work in the field during clinicals. Plus I wasn't sure if I really wanted health care at 1st.

Medical assistant can admin meds and vaccines. I know I messed up but I do have an associates degree for medical assisting. They don't have to verify anything. And I don't work in a Pcp office either. Basically the only difference between my RN and I is that an RN can give narcotics and start iv's.

Thank you, the patient was not harmed. I am just terrified to do this again

Gave a TDap instead of a flu vac. Wrong pre filled vial.

Sorry should have said more. It was at work , I'm an MA

Thank you, my work is not cool about this and I feel awful. They make it seem like it has never been done before.

I am a CMA right now... Not in clinical yet. So it is on me.

Hey everyone, I am not a nurse yet, I am in school for my RN. I made a medication error and now I feel like I should never be a nurse. Does anyone else feel this way? The patient was not harmed because of it and I honestly just didn't go over my 6 rights well enough. I now how the 6 rights written on my badge so I will always do it but it was a dumb mistake and I feel terrible. My job does not take lightly to this either. I really just question my ability to be an RN after this. I love school and do well and love my job and patients. Am I the only one to make a mistake?
