SO yesterday was my first clinical day of my second semester of nursing school and I am pretty sure I got a U. The reason I say might be given a U is because I screwed up a med pass. It all started in the med room where I was giving 2 iv pushes. I was checked off on IV meds the day before in lab and giving them the very next day. So I get to the med room and everything is fine other then my nerves cause I cant work the omnicell. I go to remove my meds and my med isn't on the screen. I wrote the name brand down not the generic:crying2:. So I have to re-look it up then re-pull my meds. Then I draw up my meds and completely slipped my mind I needed tape after that I was sooo stressed and upset I couldn't concentrate. My instructor told me its a U for not having tape she told me if my next med pass goes well I can redeem myself and not get a U. Ive never had a U and never been so upset over hearing those words. Even when I got in the room I forgot the check for name and DOB which i NEVER DO..ahhh i just wanted to crawl in a hole. This was my first clinical day with my new instructor and I felt like I started on a bad note all I kept thinking was she probably thinks I had no business moving up from Nursing1. I had a B in nursing1 I'm pulling a high B in nursing 2. I guess I'm just disappointed in myself. I'm not sure if I got my U or not I did complete a IVPB later that morning and I did way better but honestly I feel I deserve the U. Has anybody else been in this situation and if so how did you handle it? After lunch I feel like I was back to normal but the feeling of now knowing where anything is and passing meds got the best of me:uhoh3:
