I am so sorry this happened to you. Take time to get past it emotionally. Realize you are smart enough to get through the RN program and you remembered enough of what you were taught in school to pass your boards. You met the NCLEX criteria to be an RN. A job well done. So you can't remember every detail about each patient. Big deal. That is what charts are for. How many times have we had to remind the MD about which pt. he is about to see or talk to. We don't know what is happenening behind the scenes at your previous place of employment. There could be politics involved that have nothing to do with you. I am one of those that believe that things like this happen for a reason and that there is a better job for you. At some point you will be able to look back at this and have a better understanding of the situation. There may be someone in you future that will need you support after going through a similar situation. Keep you head up. I don't know if you are a Christian, but I am and I will lift you up to my Heavenly Father. I pray that he will give you wisdom and guide you through and open door to the perfect job for you.

I am a new lpn and am learning how to cap a primary line (saline loc). I am having a terrible time holding pressure at the site with my non-dominant hand and releasing the IV connection hub with my other hand. It can't be that complicated but I just can't get the darn thing unhooked. Can someone please walk me through this process?
