SSE. I wish it would've been added into the eMAR because then at least it's more obvious! Ours just shows up as z:Notify and then it's free text under the comments. I really appreciate everyone's help. I am even more upset because I found this out on my way to an interview for a postpartum unit. I got a job offer but they were going to check my references. One is a charge nurse and one is a coworker- both have said they will still put in a good word for me but I'm worried they'll call to speak with my current director and she'll tell them I'm on suspension and they'll rescind the offer. I'm so stressed this weekend!

I definitely did not chart it's as being given. I know she had her surgery today and went to the ICU afterwards, which was expected. This patient is very well known to us because last time she a as with us for 3 months. We anticipated her going to ICU anyways. I have come up with a plan to avoid this incident happening in the future, but I am concerned with the present. Thank you both immensely for your input.

I was working on a very surgical floor. At 830 yesterday morning I was acknowledging orders- and received a 6th patient. I forgot to write to give my patient an enema. All day was hectic trying to coordinate discharges, pulling drains, coordinating with MRI/Special procedures about another pt.. etc. General hectic life of floor nursing! Well the night nurse did not see the order for enema either. So patient went for surgery this AM and the surgeon is pissed. I got a call from my charge nurse asking if it was done and I explained that in all the craziness I didn't write it down and it didn't get done. She told me just to be aware that the physician is mad and things may happen. I'm not at work today. I'm supposed to work all weekend buy I'm told that this may not happen until I have a meeting. I've only been a nurse 1 year.. how bad is this? Is this something I'm going to lose my license over? TIA for any input
