   Nugget replied to Mini-Murse's topic in General Nursing

   Mine happened just last night! Hence the reason I searched "mistakes" on here as soon as I came home, crying. These happened with the same patient: 1. Patient had order for lorazepam 1-2 mg IV for...

8. New RN, 3 weeks into orientation, total screw up.

   Nugget replied to Nugget's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Pneumothorax is right on the button. Mention the TV shows they're watching or if they have photos around, ask them about that. I always try to find something in their room that I can relate to...
