I know exactly how you feel. I have just started working in ED i have only been working for 8 months an 2 days in on my own an the doctor says to give a patient lasix and lactulose as stat order he takes med chart off me gives it back to me and says here you are just give these. so i did i had a quick look at the chart i thought all was good till i went to sign off after giving the meds and realised the doctor had orded lasix an hour ago and neither of us had noticed that it had already been signed off and given. i felt so bad i almost cried then and there i told the in charge she was so nice and said dont worry doctor wasnt inpressed but said it diddnt matter either. the patient was fine. i still feel so stupid. i all ways check my charts 3 times i dont know why this time was any different. im having so much trouble getting over it i feel so ashamed an im afraid the in charge will never trust me again. i hope in time we can put our mistakes behind us and learn from them. i just hope its sooner rather than latter.
