Hi everyone! Moving from Michigan for Peds track! Also looking to live downtown! I'm looking to move down in June as well. Started looking online for places and it definitely is different looking for a place out of state! I'm excited to meet everyone in July :)

Hi Everyone! I'm new to the board, but have been reading threads for quite a while. What prompted me to start a thread was my skill competency which I completed today. I feel horrible about how I did, and thought that maybe I could receive some encouragement on here. I had studied for the skills we were going to be tested on extensively, and felt well-prepared. We were working in a simulation type lab, and I got the order to give the "patient" Zosyn IVPB. I knew how to hang the bag and everything and was just mentally ticking off each step that we were told to memorize. Well, I made a huge mistake and didn't realize that the simulation patient had an allergy to Penicillin. I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake, and the instructor grading me obviously gave me a harsh talking-to, and afterwards I left just feeling so defeated. I feel like I tried so hard preparing for the practical, and am nervous about the rest of the year if this is how it started out Anyway, I guess lesson learned
