  1. I have been a nurse for almost two years as a med surg/tele nurse. I started on nights for my first year, and I had a lot of trouble with sleeping and my general well being etc. I am starting to plan my next move. To be honest my dream was always to ...
  2. Always sick!

    A little background.. Im 24 and have been a nurse for about a year and a half. I am a float, med surg floors as well as ED on day shift. I’m in the ED a lot. This fall- winter I have been sick 4 times. Once in October with a cold, December with stoma...
  3. Forgot to restart my patients fluids

    Thanks for the replies. The fluid was LR for pancreatitis. However, for those saying that I'm covering up a mistake/ hoping no one notices isn't true. I should've said in my original post that I wasn't even sure if I connected the tubing back to the ...
  4. I gave an IV push med to one of my patients today and had to unhook them from the continuous lactated ringers infusion to do so. After I was done I forgot to hook them back up to the infusion. It was end of shift and I'm freaking out hoping the next ...
  5. Gave medications too early is this an error?

    My preceptor was the charge nurse the night I told her. She pretty much just said to be careful next time and didn't write a report.
  6. Gave medications too early is this an error?

    But is this something that should have been an incident report? I realized this days later actually when I looked back since I was taking care of the patient for a few days in a row. My preceptor didn't seem to think so
  7. Patient I had just admitted was ordered heparin subcutaneous every 12 hours. I gave the first dose upon admission and then the next morning ended up giving the next dose 6 hours after that first dose instead of 12 hours after the first dose. The comp...
  8. New grad anxiety

    I just started orientation a couple weeks ago. I am training on days and next week will be switching to nights. I am actually float pool. A lot of new grad nurses at this hospital have done float pool and loved it. Right now I am on a med surg teleme...
  9. Giving insulin late patient request

    Here are more details; I would like some more opinions please: My patient had an order for sliding scale humalog 3 times a day before meals REGARDLESS of PO status. Meaning they can still get the insulin whether or not they are actually about to eat...
  10. Does anyone use sunrise clinical manager in their hospitals? My hospital is cracking down on overridden meds that we're not used with bar code administration. Technically this is done in emergencies. I'm on orientation with a preceptor. On two occasi...
  11. Thank you makes sense. I am confident that the patient had no change when I assessed her so hopefully it stayed that way and no one will give me a problem for the documentation. I am new and still working on my time management.
  12. Thanks. I know there is someone in the hospital who looks at the neuro checks I just hope it isn't a big deal if they see I missed
  13. This happened yesterday late in the afternoon. Woke up earlier and realized I didn't document my last neuro check after I did it. I remember getting pushed into doing something else and never remembered. I'm on orientation, should I call my preceptor...
  14. Giving insulin late patient request

    Humalog insulin ordered for patient before meals however it is to be given regardless of whether or not they eat. The patient requested not to have insulin at 8. She got the insulin at 10. Next dose of insulin at one and so forth. Didn't think I need...
  15. Giving insulin late patient request

    Hi, patient didn't eat yet when I gave it late she was just starting to eat. However it said to give anyway even if patient doesn't eat after the insulin. She was just a difficult patient and wanted it a little later.
