i did and now i am ready to take my nclex exam. thank you for your comment.

they allow me to go back to finish my clinical, I did that now I am ready to take my nclex exam

Thank you for your kindly response, but the good news is that after i wrote a letter to the dean about what exactly happen, they said they will allow me to return if I write a well researched 10 page report about med error.

before that it was all good and you right, I was careless to make such kind of mistake. but this is a mistake not a habit. Thank you

LittleCandles on the last clinical we were on our own with nurses of the facility, my instructor was coming only once a week to see how we were doing. My report from my regular preceptor who had me for tree weeks was all positive but she took two days off. the nurse that came to work those two days was with a part timer. Anyways I administered Oxycontin 80mg at 10 am instead of at 12pm, Methadon 5mg was the one scheduled at 10am and because we didn't find out early enough she took another Oxycontin as scheduled at one o'clock so she could be overdosed but she was doing fine. I don't know if they going to approve my appeal but i will try. thank you

smmctowelie don't be afraid we all make mistakes in life but on your clinical make sure before you give your medication to do your 6 rights and have your preceptor check what medication you are taking out before you open it and do one thing at a time. getting scared is good it will make more careful and it is good to learn from other peoples mistake.

A medication error was discovered when we were counting narcotics at the end of the shift yesterday. What happened was that I administered Oxycontin 80mg, which was scheduled at 12pm instead of Methadon 5mg at 10am. This happened after I found out that the resident was getting ready to go out, and I rushed and pulled the medication according the EMar but failed to check with eMar if it was the right drug or not. The Md was then notified and ordered to hold the 4pm scheduled Oxycontin and to do Q2 hours vitals until midnight. Right away I checked the resident's condition, didn't notice any respiratory distress, and vitals were, Bp 100/52, RR 12, po2 92% and pulse was 86.At 10:30pm I call the night shift R.N to follow up on the condition of the resident and he told me she was doing fine. I went in the morning she a signed me new patients, we did our morning med pass and we took a break. when i came back from break I caught he sinking in to my folder to see my report and I wasn't crazy about it, instead I showed her what I wrote she said good i thought you would hid it. Then when the instructor came they chat for an hour. Then my instructor ask me about it but before I finish she told me to I need to meet with director of nursing. When I went there they were both in in office as walk in I saw the anger in the director's face. I told her she is right to be angry because I didn't do what I my instructors thought me. I took full responsibility for my mistake. But it didn't stop her from blocking me from my graduation this semester which was the next day. I ask her if can retake the clinical again she said to call her when the registration starts. I called and left a message and wrote email after two days she called to tell me I am kicked out of the program. What am I going to do? I don't think any school will take me for just a clinical or for only one semester.
