600mg with option for another 600 if pain is not well controlled

Oi :/ made a dumb error and followed order for 1200 mg ibuprofen two hours after anthesia gave toradol! Didn't realize it until nurse I have report to told me but didn't process totally until I got home since I was in the middle of something with another patient . The proper people are aware but I am so sick about it... Can't find studies of people who have taken both but increased risks nonetheless... Help I'm the dumbest nurse ever

Your kind words and advice are beyond appreciated! Practicing good self care and luckily have a few days before I need to GI back in.

Hi all! I was an IMC nurse for three years and transferred to L&D in January. Overall I'm loving it but my major weakness is csection. I'm just so out of my element in the OR. My patient needed an urgent section. I always feel pulled in a million directions and my scrub tech was calling for a count while I was trying to get FHR which was Brady. In the rush I recorded the suture count wrong. I didn't realize until final count and said something. My scrub tech insisted she knows what she pulled. The surgeons told me to "fix" my count. I just felt uncomfortable and so we called for an X-ray. Nothing in patient so clearly my mistake in counting. There was a delay in the next case as we only have two OR and can't open one without the second being ready to go. Everyone was upset and I just feel like an idiot. I just don't know how seriously ill be taken in the future. Part of me thinks I did the right thing for my patient but part of me just thinks I uselessly called for an X-ray and delayed the next case (also urgent although not STAT). Can someone more experienced offer their opinion? And how do I face people when I come back in for my next shift :/! Please help! Feeling disheartened.
