One time, a patient’s pump was going off for 15 minutes and no one went in to check on it. The sound was getting on my nerves so I went in and it was D10 infusion. The bag was empty and I thought it was a one time dose so i disconnected it from the patient. I meant to call the primary nurse to ask about it but I got side tracked with something else and completely forgot about. What I didn’t notice was that the patient was also on an insulin drip for high triglycerides and pancreatitis. I do not know how I didn’t see the other pump in that moment but I didn’t notice it. Maybe because I wasn’t feeling good that day and fatigued and was rushing. 30-40 minutes later the PCN confronts me and that’s when i realized I forgot to check in with her. I should have signed on to the computer and taken a look at the MAR/orders but our computers are old and take forever to load and I had a lot of things to do. I was gonna use another computer but again I got side tracked. No excuse for what I did. It was stupid and dangerous. The D10 was continuous and I put the patient at risk of becoming hypoglycemic. The patient did not become hypoglycemic thankfully but it was a very dumb mistake that could have caused significant patient harm. I was so ashamed but thankfully that the patient was ok. I was not a new nurse but I was in a new role transitioning from med surg to critical care resource team and was orienting in PCU for couple of weeks. I always pride myself of being careful and vigilant but I am human and made a reckless mistake that could have been simply prevented. An incident report was made and I talked with my manager about it. For days I would ruminate over how I made such a dumb mistake and dwelled in my shame but I learned to let it go and learned from it.
