By Dec. 27, it's going to my 6th month evaluation and already I had been written up!!! My patient had a bone marrow aspiration biopsy and needed to keep NPO after midnight and he was keep NPO. It wasn't until the day during shift report I realized that there was an order to administer IV fluids. I felt bad since i really didn't see that order. The next thing I know I am being written for that. The patient wasn't diabetic for fyi. I understand it's my fault but felt somewhat discouraged. I feel right now my manager is eyeing me all the time right. now. I had my 5th month evaluation and he said i'm doing so well. but this was all before this incident. I feel discouraged. I know my patient isn't harmed at least. I hate to put everything in an excuse but I got my shift report from not the greatest person to get report from. The person who wrote on me was a float nurse.
My manager discussed with issue with me and wanted me to sign the paper in another time. Should I sign it? There are so many things that I could written up on others but still debating about that since I'm still kinda new. Like for instance, that same nurse that report to me didn't give the 2 K ryders order at 930am. When I go into my shift, I asked her did you give it? She said no. I had to call pharmacy to get the Kryder which they didn't give it to me only gave me 1 of the 2 Kryder. After the 1st one finished I made the doc order a BMP for the K. That nurse said, it's not a big deal. The k is only 3.2
I feel like a mixture of feelings.
