Thank you!

Thanks again, and yes, I feel very guilty for what I have done. There is no any valid excuse for it. Especially me being not that young like the rest of the students, I feel like it might be a sign and I should not be in this program...yet...

Thank you for your advise! I appreciate you took your time and replied to my post. 1. When I was leaving (since a student can't stay right after the accident) I checked my patient. She seemed to fall asleep, covered with the blanket, since pain med was administered. Also, I gave her a bath that " she needed it, and it did feel good". 2. I feel tremendous guilt for causing so much trouble for my clinical instructor, because she is a wonderful instructor, and I apologized to her. But it's just did slip out of my mind, that I have to have someone in the room, because my patient was so kind and supportive to me. Plus, as I said, she did recognized her meds right away, and start telling me how she administered it herself. 3. I am aware of the circumstances that may follow. One door closes, another opens... I am a student who has to learn from the mistake, and it happened to be that this one was my own.

Oh...my patient and I, we had such a great communication, and she recognized her meds right away. She even encouraged me to administer it, since "she has been doing it herself at home all the time, and she doesn't not feel it at all". It's just slipped out of my mind that my professor should be in the room with me... We, as a students, were allowed to administer meds today.

Thank you! Oh yes, I will remember those two meds very well from now on :)

This is my second clinical. I made a terrible mistake of administering medications (Bystolic orally, and Lovenox) without my "elders" in the room. My clinical instructor had to file a complaint report with my statement. What should I do next? I am sure I'll be out of the program, but am I eligible to start RN program ever again?
