Thank you! Some of these comments have been so rude and unthoughtful ! It may be the setting she’s practicing in or the shift . I don’t believe she should walk away so freely just yet.

And stop beating yourself up!! trust me nursing will do that for you, from family members to tyrant staff members to Doctors to some of your fellow nurses. Better thicken your skin or you won’t make it. And all that hard work you just flushed it down the drain.. Don’t let them do it to you! These nurses in here acting like they never made med errors , ?. I bust nurses on a regular basis and the older ones that think they do no wrong.. and the ones who think they know it all are the worst.. You learn everyday and being teachable is another thing! But if I came to your facility I would tell your DON that putting Pre pulled meds is against federal regulation..

That’s also descriptive of a system failure . I follow nurses on med passes as part of my job. Remember your patient rights, Slow Down and one patient at a time. Your med pass may take 3-4 hours but that is the correct way. And unless someone is coding or having Chest pains your med pass should never be interrupted!!! ”Slow down, One patient at a time while using the 5 Rights. Read the order and compare to drug AT Least Three Times!!

18 years for me in July and I am 43.

18 years for me In July and I am 43. Although , I started out as a LPN then obtained my RN . And two years ago my BSN and I was accepted into a MSN this month. Will this education ever end? Guess not because I am a nurse! ?‍⚕️

Sounds like you did not think she had any dementia/ delirium. At times patients can be so convincing that they are normal without any cognitive issues and then BAM you are caught up in the middle of their struggle. Just document and try to redirect that type of behavior. However, often that is difficult to do.
