I was fired, but I had put my two week notice in and only had 2 days left. I was offered a dayshift position the day before and I declined it. The med error occurred several days before that. I recently found out another very established nurses who was excellent, made a medication error, self reported, and was fired as well. She had also put her two week notice in not long before it happened. I regret my error, but for now I am going to the best I can at being a better nurse.

Thank you, you have been a wonderful help.

Thank you all for the guidance and kindness.

Also, I hadn't already turned in a two week notice and accepted a position at a new facility. Should I tell the facility of what happened ? Since I was hired before the incident ?

Oh no doubt i still count it as an error. I was just wondering if this was the end of my career ? How's would I know if I had been reported to the BON. I'm a fairly new nurse with no guidance all of the nurses I know are just as inexperienced as I am.

I wasn't told I was, I'm not sure how to know as my medication error was speculation.... I made another post about situation, but had it remove because I felt I was to descriptive.

Or more so what should I expect from the BON? How's long do they take to contact you ?

What did the BON do?

Is this true if the error was omitting a medication on accident?

Thank you for the feed back. The error made was not a sentinel error.

Has anyone ever been fired from a nursing job for medication error and still managed to be successful and pursue the career?
