@morte: can you elaborate more on the reason why i should be tested for add? thank you for all the advice. i don't want to lose my license, i love being a nurse.

The family might report me for almost giving the wrong medication. For the Coumadin problem, the don helped us with talking to the doctor and family, that is another patient. The don did an inservice about it. Do you guys have any tips to prevent med error? @morte: nope

Thank you chiflavored! Those are wise words. I should work harder and prove to everyone and myself that I learned from my mistake and it will hopefully (fingers crossed) never happen again. I will be more careful.

Last week, my 2 coworkers and I got a med error because we did not give the coumadin, we assumed that because the mar was flipped, it means that it was discontinued. I felt really stupid because that is very important. Then, during my last duty, I was about to give the patient the wrong medicine but the family member noticed it and i went to double check and yikes it was the wrong medicine. I asked the patient if she was having diarrhea and she said yes so I threw it away. Then I was about to give the suppository instead of the cream. That day was crazy, so many interruptions, 3 admissions, 1 trying to get up all the time. I've never felt so stupid in my entire life. I'm incompetent, unsafe and a failure. I should've triple check everything and follow the basics (Five rights). It happened in my first nursing job in long term care. I'm working there for almost 7 months now. Patient is fine but the family member might report me to the state. I got suspended. I am not sure how long. I'm really depressed. I'm trying to find another job but it's really hard to get motivated when all I think about is "Is nursing really meant for me?" I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want to lose my license that I've worked hard for. would love to hear your advice awesome nurses....

I passed! can't believe it! Thank you Lord! it's on the website after 4 days.... woot woot! birthday wish came true! i had trouble doing the pearson vue trick so I just prayed to God that whatever the result is, I will accept it.

is it the same as program name? i don't see any nursing program. i'm lost huhu thank you though i'll try to figure it out somehow

@ raiffleck: thanks, I did but nothing changed. i guess i have to wait for the mail and pray.

how come after i clicked next, it always says select the nursing program.... i'm a foreign educated nurse. i'm pretty sure i answered everything, but there was no program name in the list. i'm stressed out.
