I think I replied to a different post. But basically I brought it back the next day.

Lesson learned. I empty my pockets after shift now.

No I came back the next day like my preceptor back and administered his morning dose at the same time. My preceptor said that if they needed to give him insulin they could always get the pharmacy. Plus, I had work the next day and we already gave him his night coverage.

Lol I'm not that paranoid about it going on my permanent record. Just my evaluation.... when my school faculty comes for midterm evals. Lol. My preceptor might be like "she's irresponsible".

Of course. I doubt the patient would need insulin at night already since we already gave him his coverage too.

Thank goodness. I was panicking so bad that she was mad at me.

So I'm a nursing student and today me and my preceptor gave insulin to two of her patients near change of shift. By the time we were done, the next nurses were already ready to receive report so my preceptor told me that we would put it back in the pyxis later. I don't have access to some meds in pyxis, so I need her to put it back. I put the insulins in my scrub pocket because we aren't supposed to leave medications on the COW. But later we apparently got busy and by the time I knew it, she sent me home telling me I did a good job that day. So you can imagine the disappointment in myself when I go home to empty my pockets and see those two meds /: I texted her and she said to just bring it back tomorrow since we have a shift. I just feel so bad, like I already failed preceptorship. Has anyone done something similar to this?

She does use an SBAR sheet, but it doesn't really help me. I actually made my own which seemed to help.

Hi everyone, It'll be my 5th day precepting on an ortho this Saturday and I was just wondering how a nurse's shift goes on the unit. A breakdown of their day would be helpful. Also, do you have a good SBAR sheet that you use during the shift? What things do you include when giving report?

Hi everyone! So I'm a student precepting in an ortho unit and so far I just got through my 4th day. My preceptor is nice, but yesterday she sat me down after our shift and told me I was unfocused and disorganized and to work on it for next time. She said I shouldn't be asking her about how to work the IV pump (when hanging piggybacks) or EPIC system already since it's my 4th day. I actually knew how to work them both, but I looked to her because I thought she wanted to confirm I was doing everything right... plus, students aren't allowed to do anything with IVs on our own. She's given me one patient to start off with, but she won't let met have total care of the patient. She'll talk to the patient and tell me what to do in terms of caring the patient, but I kind of want to practice talking to my patient too since patient communication is something I suck at... Anyways, this is a long post but I wanted to ask advice on many things. What's the best way to hang IV fluids (without getting the cords all jumbled up)? When to clear the IV pump to document I&Os? How to approach your patient during start of shift? Also, for those who use EPIC, how do you look at active orders? There's orders that overlap sometimes and it gets confusing.
