Should I be worried?

[mikala3]

I am a new grad and still have a preceptor. On my third night of working, my preceptor fillout out a safety violation report on me and I do not know what to expect. I did not know that I needed to notify the pharmacist if a medication was out of stock. Instead I documented that it was not on the floor and was not given to the patient because it was out of stock.

She said I provided unsafe care and filled out the report. There is only one hospital in my area of Kentucky, and I am scared to death that I will get fired over it. Am I making too much of it?

You should have tracked your preceptor down. That said sometimes you just have to learn a harsh lesson and move on. You sure know what to do now so let it go. You will never make THAT particular mistake again.

Your preceptor was a jerk.
