Starting my 40th year

Wait, what is an action plan? Sounds like a euphimism for written disciplinary action.

Do you need to take stock of the landscape here? Not to be a Debbie Downer but you need to know what this is about (bigger picture).

Only something I plan to do or if you will co tonite to do. Nothing ordered to do.

Again thanks for the encouragement and points of view...so appreciated.

So tonight I had a "meeting" with my manager again....unfortunately I made an error and started the wrong feeding on my baby. We caught it right away (thank goodness), but had to be reported since it involved breast milk. I feel terrible....this is the first error I have Ever Had...and I am being Totally Honest. But tonight I was made to feel like crap...and have to jump hoops so I am more conscious of detail. Yah Right!! Like I haven't already looked at my practice since this happened and made changes.

How much more can I take is the question here.

First of all thanks for all the kind remarks regarding the longevity of my career....this has been in a NICU.

I have worked all in the NICU....level 3 sometimes floating to level 2 or PICU, even Travel Nursing.

No never an issue with anything safety...in fact I am very much a perfectionist. I have been a

preceptor, transport nurse, charge nurse, bereavement coordinator, and now just reg. bedside

care. Great career. Love my job...just wondering why in the last couple of years all of a sudden

to do your best (as always) is not "good enough" you know what I mean??

They have to tell you something to improve on right? Nobody's perfect

Well I proved that after my first error last week. Feel Terrible.

It could be a little worst (( not, smiles))

46 years 6/20/18........

You did not survive 4 decades of nursing, without being a great nurse

Just shake it off......

Best wishes

Check the box, forget about it, and move on, Nurse!

I understand and yet know I should feel bad...I do not intend on making light of any error. Never think it will happen to you I guess. Just Greatful it was no harm as a result.

Check the box, forget about it, and move on, Nurse!

The thing is I do not want to forget, or the error could happen again. Of Coorifice I never wanted or intended on this happening...but it was my fault.

My family thinks I am being "hunted", and should leave. It's a difficult thing to consider at age 60. And I have the majority positive days still.

Move on....easier said than done until I meet this week to see what type of hoop I must jump.

kitty, I think you should pay close attention in that meeting. Go there with your business face. Do not sit there and go to pieces verbally self-flagellating about this mistake. In fact, don't plan on talking much at all, and avoid doing so. Hear and understand what your manager says.

These people have infinitely more tolerance for the dangers of novices than they do for your situation, because it financially benefits the company for them to do so.

If you have critically examined your own situation and are confident that you aren't having difficulties with competence, I would consult legal resources and also make a real action plan for getting out of this situation. You can do it.
