hi everyone i am a new nurse been on the job for two months and have already made 6 med errors five out of the 6 were missed doses of norco. i feel horrible and cant sleep and i think about it all the time. This experience makes me feel so inadaquat...

hi i just happen to run across this posting and like the others said i wouldn't do it to have to move your family and then you don't even know if you will like it and then what, I wouldn't take the chance

i would have screamed. speaking of ghost stories in the nursing home where i used to work, i was sitting behind the desk with another nurse finishing up last min charting and there were a couple of CENA's on the other side standing in front of the de...

Hi sounds like your just overwhelmed if your working in a nursing home i can understand why. I have just recently started working homecare and its so much more relaxing and i am actually applying skills and learning new ones along the way. the money ...

I have a job just started homecare its different but i am learning and applying nursing skills. I am even fortunate enough to have the mom of the child i take care of to teach me things that we did not even get a chance to learn in nursing school but...

hi i know what you mean about job however i did have a job for a couple of months and worked my butt off in LTC and did the best job i could caring for 24-27 residents. i did however make a few mistatakes but no harm was done. to make long story shor...

Fake it until you make it trust yourself, trust God learn from your mistakes and move on. Having a good mentor helps:)

thankyou the bottom line is i have thought about how can prevent this from happening again. I quit that job before they fired me just because i had a hunch,gut feeling instinct. My instincts are usually accurate. Well update: my instinct was right on...

Frankie I have read some of your post and i have to say that i did get a good laugh or two, you sure don't hold nothing back.

Frankie you crack me up, i have read some of your post and i have to say i did get a good laugh or two, you don't hold nothing back.

Get it

You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him. Now that is volume......Maturity Games?????. Get Real

Ruby negativaty breeds negativity please keep in mind the words you choose when posting comments to me and to others. "have you walked in their shoes"

Ruby i am offended you do not know me from jack and i am sorry to even mention the word coward to have it thrown back in my face....just as well.... and lacking maturity and growing up well until you can say you have walked in someone elses shoes ple...

Dang if nobody can be trusted i feel sorry for the residents (LOL) just a little humor:rolleyes: I see what your saying but on the flip side i can understand where the other individual is coming from to:no:

hello thanks for your response. yes it was a few norcos that i had overseen and did not give. no harm done to patient they were not in no pain. i turned in my own med errors. I really did love my job but i was afraid they were going to fire me and so...

I didn't pass the prenclex exam that was given to us in nursing school and they said i had a very slight chance of passing boards on the first try but i proved them wrong and i did pass on the first try. I do believe there are students who have to wo...

hi Ruby where i live you can only take nclex two times, i am actually surprised as well for the one who took it 8 times. i have to kind of chuckle at that one because like you said he/she didn't give up.........they finally......and successfully achi...

Resigned from first LPN Postion hope this article is somewhat comforting to other nurses that are in the same boat as me: http://www.lovesark.net/everlastinglove/closeddoors.html

very well said. I do not think LTC is the place for me. I think i will try homecare "one on one" There is way to much room for error working in long term caring for 24 residents. I will be having a meeting with the DON tomorrow at 10am sharp (yikes)....

thanks Brandon. being human is no excuse for med errors when it comes to med pass. I hear that all the time we are just human but being human isn't no excuse and that is what scares me because "I am human" and i do make mistakes. I need to figure out...
