What are the chances of me being fired?

I am fairly a new nurse its going to be a year in January since I've been working. I work in LTAC and I have been ok for 6 months until my new manager started working. She is my new manager and she doesn't know me because I work nights and in the past 2 months I have had 3 patients fall out of bed for me and 1 needlestick injury. My last patient had soft wrist restraints and had bed alarms and he still fell for me. Yet the nurse before me had him in a chair all day long and nothing happened to him. I later found that one of the restraints had come loose and he was able to use his free hand and undo his other restraint. Anyway, everybody says not to worry about this but realistically, what will happen to me?

Cross the bridge when you come to it. Otherwise, worry accomplishes nothing. Accidents happen. Just be extra vigilant next time, or tell pt's family to get a sitter and talk to your manager on how to better provide patient safety. As Sue said, you're fine.

IF you did your restraint assessments and rounding per policy, it is not your fault that someone falls.
