Hey guys. Any insight is appreciated. I'm a new graduated nurse in a residency program. I have 2 great preceptors. I work on a fast paced pediatric unit. I've been working for 3 weeks. I feel absolutely awful. I made a mistake last week and I learned about it on Friday. I just still feel awful. I marked an ordwe for fluids reviewed on this little boy and forgot to look at the order again for the rest of the day. I marked it reviewed at 0955. My preceptor never saw the order so we never hung the fluids. The night shift nurse caught it but the boy was really dehydrated by then. Got stuck over 5 times trying to get an INT on him but no one could get it. Even their most experienced nurse. So the PICC team had to get it on him the next day. I didn't know about it till my review later that week. My manager and preceptor were very understanding and didn't beret me. Just helped me come up with a different game plan from here on out.
But I have to send a weekly summary to the educators and even though I didn't write about this incident, the educator said she wanted to talk to me one on one about my preceptor. Idk why. I'm a nervous wreck. Gahh.
