MadsLPN

This is a really great convo to have. I'm 21 and a LPN. I'm so scared every night when I go to work. I'm not even out of my 90 day probation w a new company and I have made 2 narc med errors.(No harm to either patient) I have self reported myself twice now... And I made the mistake of assessing a fallen patient in the dark and trusting an aide to put out an emergency page out for the supervisor which was botched... just so frustrating! I am just so scared I'm going to loose my job or license more than ever now... I'm also 6 weeks pregnant. I'm actually scared to go back to work tonight :chair:

DON'T do it! I am an LPN, a young LPN at that. I'm 21 and feel like I need more life experiences to handle this. GO for the RN and soak up all the guided experiences you can... Sometimes we need more "seasoning" before we can seriously be trusted to care for people. Also basicly the only thing an LPN can do is pass meds in LTC and you will get NO respect for the aides!
