Sending you healing thoughts and big hugs. The gift you gave this family is priceless - you gave this little one a chance and no matter the outcome you gave the family time.

Sounds like this was PRN medication. If you check EN scope it will say something along the lines of prn and variable dose may only be administered in consultation with and under supervision of/ or delegated by RN. Make sure you are clear on your scope of practice and doses of common meds.

Thank you :) "you couldn't pay me enough to take an LTC job!" you couldnt pay me enough to work anywhere else, it is crazy & frantic but I love it.

Im so sorry this happened to you. I cant offer any advice on your situation but just wanted to offer some support so sending a prayer and kind thoughts your way.

being scared is a good thing - it shows you take the responsibility seriously. You can do it and it does get easier as you go along, there were times i did not think i would survive my first weeks, let alone months or a year - but i did and it gets a little less overwhelming and you gain a little more confidence each day. Just keep telling yourself you can do it, believe in yourself and dont be scared to ask for help, no one starts out an experienced nurse, everyone starts right where you are now. "Courage isn't the absence of fear. It is moving forward in spite of it." I love this quote, says it all really.

Today is a bit cooler thankfully - was 44 here in SA when I finished work last friday afternoon. Too hot!!

We use HCA and YNA at work - aged care. From all accounts both are really good. Im pretty sure HCA does hospitals as well as aged care.

I am stunned that the cna is still there after the first incident!! I dont think i could continue to work for any organisation that would even think about trying to cover something like this up. I dont have any advice thats is different to whats given but wanted to say well done for taking it to the ADON - the world would be a better place if more people did what is right even if its the harder option.
