Hi everyone! So I've been completing my last days of clinicals this week and everything was going pretty well until my last day. So I had to do a regular blood sugar test on a client. I never had trouble doing that until then. I had the blood sample on the strip and I was waiting for the result. Idk why but I pull the strip out of the monitor before I could get the result??????? And of course it was the only time my instructor came with me for a blood sugar test. So I took another blood sample and get my result, feeling bad for my client, but okay. After that my instructor asked me where I put the needles I used and I putted them in the trash instead of a biomedical yellow container
I also had to take vitals. But just before entering my patient's room, a RT came in to give her a treatment. Just before that she took her SpO2 and it was under the minimal value we could tolerate for this patient and I make the mistake to think that with the treatment it would be okay AND I did not control SpO2 again after that since the RT took it and give her a treatment that was supposed to increase the value.
my instructor was not happy at all with that and I can't help but think my clinical evaluation will be very bad and that it will make me fail since these are pretty bad mistakes..
Considering im in first year second semester, do you think it's enough to fail??
