I charted it as an order that it was ok to give per the doctor. I should have charted a progress note now that I think about it. It wasn't a big deal to the doctor so I wrote the order and went about my work because I was super busy of course. I didn't think it was a big deal until the night nurse said something. I should have gone back and charted some more. I guess I better chalk this one up as a learning experience and never let it happen again right?

I had a patient yesturday that had a stroke, a hip fracture and a small bleed behind her eye. The doctor had come by and written orders for no anticoagulants so I clarified a few other things with the order and said so we are holding the lovenox for now. And she said no, no we don't want to do that because she has a hip fracture and the risk of a DVT is high so lets give it to her and I said even though she has the bleed and the doctor said it was a very, very small bleed and the risk of a DVT was higher... ok so I did what the doctor ordered. And nights said I never would have done now because I would have been afraid to get sued. Now I feel just wonderful... I guess I should have asked another nurse or doctor before giving the shot.

For some reason lately it has really been haunting me when a doctor is rude to me. When I call them and they don't care what I have to say or I was supposed to call the resident even though I was told to call the doctor ugh... I go home stressing over it, I feel so stupid. I guess it doesn't help I am pregnant and hormonal, but does anyone else feel this way or do you blow them off? TIA :)

It is really starting to sink in that I have to take my boards a week from tomorrow!! I am doing the ATI review and I got behind schedule some how? And I just feel like I am not totally prepared!!! AHHHHH!!!! I am so stress and scared!
