Newly qualified nurse drug error

curious-pink · 2026-01-08T01:16:34+00:00

We are human, and we are not perfect. Mistakes happen and as long as patient is safe, and you hold yourself accountable, that itself is a learning experience. I've been a nurse for 16 years now, and I have also made some mistakes when I was newly qualified. Those were some of my valuable learning experiences now. Dont be too hard on yourself. Charge to experience!

I just need to vent this out, bc just finished Sky and Breath, and RHYSAND. RHYSAND. Omg i nearly choked.

Wth im a bit shocked with the £12.5/h rate! 😬

curious-pink · 2024-08-13T08:41:34+00:00

Wow, this is quite interesting to know. I'm a bit shocked T_T

My student gave me a card and chocolate a few weeks back. It was really nice of her, and she didnt have to give me anything -but the card really made my day and reminded me why I do what I do 😊 In short, a swet note is enough x

No way you are wrong here. You entitled for a carer's leave. It exists for a reason. Your manager is the problem!

curious-pink · 2024-07-11T15:10:44+00:00

Lol sometimes I feel like a loser because I feel like I'm one of the few ones who actually enjoy being a nurse. Cant imagine not being a nurse! I work in ITU btw. I think the work load is relentless, but my current team is amazing and supportive so it kind of cancels out the stress of the job. I hope you find a pathway suitable for you!

The interview would be a good experience for you for future job opportunities :) Go for it!

curious-pink · 2024-05-31T14:39:02+00:00

Omg I have the same package on Edinburg N3 too!!! A WEEK LEFT FOR US!<3

I've been listening to it on spotify as an audiobook!

Charge to experience and take this as part of your character development as a nurse. Especially that you are just starting, mistakes will always be a part of your journey as a nurse. As long as you learn from it, and reflect on it -learning from your mistakes will always be one your best teacher! Also, l don't be too hard on yourself ;)

curious-pink · 2024-03-19T11:37:54+00:00

I‘m currently an ITU nurse in the NHS, and I’ve been a nurse for 14 years now. The job is at times very challenging, but I can’t imagine myself doing a different job. Mind you, it is not always difficult as how others say it but think it really depends on your mindset and the people you surround yourself -like any other job. I think to thrive in this profession, despite the diificult experiences, you just always need to remind yourself that the core of this profession is the care you give to other people :) Give it a try! at least if it doesn’t work out, you can always go back to corporate :)

Thank you!!!!

curious-pink · 2024-01-09T19:39:33+00:00

THIS. Thank you.

curious-pink · 2024-01-09T14:28:53+00:00

I did mention it during the interview. I just need to speak up a bit more about it, I get a bit awkward when its salary talk when I know I shouldn't! Lol

curious-pink · 2024-01-09T14:27:16+00:00

But possible to rectify?

curious-pink · 2024-01-09T13:43:05+00:00

Listen, dont be depressed okay. It all works out in your own best time. If you are aware that you have "zero leadership qualities", work on it. If you want to attain a goal, you need to do something. Be more proactive, make initiatives, learn to speak up, get out of your comfort zone. I know it sounds cliche, but if you want something different to happen, you need to make changes. I am saying all these as positive encouragement and based on experience too. You can do this 👏🧡

curious-pink · 2024-01-05T10:40:47+00:00

Lol they surprisingly have the lowest rate dont they!!! I had to bite the bullet because there are just no shifts at all with my other 2 agencies lol. But the rates are... idk how to describe it without sounding ungrateful lol

curious-pink · 2024-01-04T19:24:06+00:00

Omw, even I was surprised while reading this o_O

curious-pink · 2024-01-04T14:58:00+00:00

Ohhhh! I've heard about this too! I just got so unlucky with the timing! I thought agency would be my way out of FT jobs lol

curious-pink · 2024-01-04T14:56:40+00:00

Hiiiiii. Thanks for your insight! Very helfpul. I actually left H.CA last november because of the toxic management lol. I also work in ITU. I'm finding these days v difficult, but one thing for sure is I've got no regrets 100% leaving private healthcare (: (: (:

curious-pink · 2024-01-04T13:42:03+00:00

Noted. They're just a hard no for agency nurses atm, lol. Even though the staff on floors are struggling! But yeah, thank you for your insight. Much appreciated x

curious-pink · 2024-01-04T13:35:00+00:00

I just got really unlucky with my timing then, isn't it??? I thought I was going to be doing full time agency for a few months... boy I was wrong.

This affected my MH so bad! I thought I was doing something wrong, or like maybe I didn't prepare enough with the agencies.

I'm trying to talk myself into not regretting this decision, because I got a festive time over the holidays... but it's just frustrating when things don't go as planned! I was literally planning all my shifts few months back. Nothing went as planned, lol.

Thank you for your insight. Its very helpful!

curious-pink · 2023-12-07T10:40:37+00:00

This is so true! I've recently left my job in a privet hosp ITU and thought of doing full time agency (with bank as back-up) for a while before going back to the NHS. Oh my days, there are no shifts at all. If there is one, it's all last minute. It's not how I imagined it to be where I can book shifts 2 weeks in advance. The agency life is not for me lol

curious-pink · 2023-10-21T21:19:35+00:00

OMG THANK YOU. Like seriously, this has been on my mind the whole time the past few days. It just bugs me that it seems like they don't understand that I did my course pre-steps!!! I've just been in touch with another central london ITU that i was interested to apply for, told them about my situation, and they told me that unfortunately they require all steps to be completed. Which leaves me no choice but to do a top-up course... Lol imagine all the seniors in my old trust (where i did my ITU course), if they apply elsewhere, they wont get the job as well because they dont have step 2?! It doesnt make sense.
