I did not administer the injection, I was warned by my instructor that this wasn't the appropiate site. And before this incident, I was placed on probation for an entire semester and had to do medication pass on every single clinical day. I was exposed more than any other classmate on medication pass and passed clinical for one semester, but she continued to have me placed on probation after the second semester. The first incident was completlly unreliable. She wrote an incident report that had false facts which she admitted in a meeting, and my mistake was signing a form because of pressure and fear.

No, she didn't.

After almost 3 years and more of hard studying and dedication, I was dissmissed from the program. I know that it was something personal with my teacher and I would please like some imput and opinions. The reason I was dissmissed was because I was about to administer lovenox ,and I know it's an anticoagulant and a subcutaneous injection, and I was also taught that the best site to administer this medication is in the abdominal region, but I did not know it was the ONLY site like my teacher said. I gathered a couple of information from cardiology sites and from lovenox and they said that there has been no studies or evidence that administeing at any other subcutaneous site could be a harm, threat or interfere with the patient's treatment , but that the manufacturer reccomends that the preffered site for maximum absorption is the abdomen.But can this really be a motive for dissmissal? Please share your comments. Thank you.
