I am starting to embrace my time off as this whole situation has been very sobering. You can't get too comfortable or complacent, you have to always be on top of your game. I take full...

Yes because the internet is a very solid medium for detecting someone's true emotion. That is asinine to presume that I felt no remorse over the insulin mishap, but whatever, I am tired of explaining...

Perhaps you didn't read the part where I said that it severely affected my psyche. I am sure you have never once made a mistake right? And if you are a nurse you have never once made a mistake during...

Well said, certainly a learning experience. I was always careful during med administration and prided myself on being so, but I made a mistake that I will never make again. It is extremely important...

You're right, it wasn't in the original post, I thought it was rather irrelevant until someone mentioned we should of got permission from her next of kin if she was unable to talk. Just so happened...

As far is the HIPAA issue, there is absolutely nothing else I am leaving out of that situation. My fellow student was over in my pod and I told him I had a patient on a ventilator in which he asked...

The insulin error occurred after lunch, roughly 1pm. She never mentioned anything relating to the error other than noticing that it was not the right dose. She continued to let me provide care for...

The fact of the matter is I always double check my insulin with my nurse prior to administration. The fact that she caught it at the med station before I was able to is what I am getting in trouble...

I never once said it was "no biggie" that the nurse caught it after I pulled the needle out of the vial. You need to stop putting words in my mouth and assuming how I feel or reacted. I told you...
Trip_McNeelyRN2b replied to Trip_McNeelyRN2b's topic in HIPAA Challenges
Nope, that is the entire story. They were really after me that day, they tried to say my cohort took a long lunch, and also tried to say that doing my care plan on their computers when I was actually...

Thank you very much, your response was very motivational. She handed me the 1/2 mL/cc syringe which is typically for insulin dosages between 31-50 units. So I saw a 3 and pulled back (being 30...

Hey thanks! It's one of those errors you make as a student or a nurse that really opens your eyes, the kind that you never make again. And I was perplexed why my nurse never brought up anything to...
