I wanted to highlight this so that I can teach all my new grad nurses ways to avoid any potential medication error.

I recommend nurses watching this video Google the Vanderbilt University Medical Center nurse who bypassed those medication safety stops in the EMR that eventually let to a patient death. Another excellent video, as always!! 👍🏾😊
Yes! I totally agree that every nurse need to watch because it is such an important aspect of our job and one that can be deadly, Thanks for watching. The Vanderbilt story was horrifying and scary.
This was a great video & a much needed topic to address! I also want to add that it is so important to ensure that the medication is given over the correct timeframe. When I was new to working in Oncology, I hung a medication that was supposed to have been running over 2 hours in a way shorter time span. So, double checking administration rates & timeframes are vital steps as well.
Thanks for watching! Yes time frame, correct time because sometimes we get backed up and the meds was suppose to be given 2 hours earlier and by the time this one is hang the time frame for the next would be too close so I totally agree.
Awesome video as usual sis👏👏👏👏... Let me tell uuuuu this topic is dear to my heart. Once during my night shift in the ER, I had a stroke patient. So I had to give TPA and all the extra that came with it. I prep myself according, looked at my chart , made sure to have my patient weight, mix the med appropriately. As soon as the pt came back from CT scan, I hooked her up on full monitor, had another nurse double check everything... I was on a roll girl, just for me to turn around and forget to give a bolus of TPA😭😭😭😭... Babayyyyyyyy when I tell uuuuuuu my heart stop as I had already started the pt on the drip. I flew out of the room and ran to the physician, it was no brainer to me (mind you at the time I didn't not understand the importance of the bolus, but I knew it was necessary) I told the physician and we quickly worked out a plan with the neurologist on how to fix the error. For two weeks afterwards I was the talk of the town😂😂😂, but guess what I was super proud of myself because I spoke out, I didn't hesitate or signed off what I didn't do. Yes I was called in the office, I had to write a paper explaining the importance of TPA and bolus, the pathophysiology etc. However, I learned that day and untill now I take my time, always seek to know my meds and their use as well as side effects 🙏
😩😩😩😩😭😭😭😭! I know this is a serious topic but I literally hollered when I saw you say Babayyyyyy! I am picturing your face that I don't even know! TPA scares me I have hang it before and when I say I checked and triple checked and checked again, but I am glad you spoke up about it because it was the right thing to do. Even though you knew you could get into trouble! Real MVP nurse! Thanks for watching
@@fromcnatonp girl my face was priceless 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow! That must have been scary
@@thernlegacy6691 yes ma'am it sure wasss, my facial expressions was priceless 😂😂😂😂
@@gracembakop2813 lol I can imagine, but we move and we learn from our experiences.
RNs are afraid to admit to Med errors d/t what’s attached to it- you said it best, The repercussion can be deadly 🤦🏾♀️ WOW so glad you’re talking about this! That’s a nurse worse nightmare
Thanks for watching! Yes it is scary and deadly mistake (literally) I always encourage nurses who I precept to be very careful about this because this is very serious
@@fromcnatonp literally!
Thank God for Barcode medication administration but even in emergencies nurses are told to hurry and give meds but you must protect the patient who is a human and also your license. I'm leaving psychiatry soon and will start my journey as an ED nurse, since I will be finishing my FNP program next winter and want to work in the ED as an FNP. I'm so super nervous since I never really gained hands-on medical skills because I went straight into psych out of nursing school. Any tips you may have?
Thanks for watching! I think you going back to work in the ED is amazing and will definitely help you when you start working a a NP especially since you want to be in the ED space. I think bedside/hands on is actually the best at teaching us what the books and school don’t... also don’t stress out when you first start you are not going to know it all and that’s ok, if you make your clinical decisions using evidence based practice you cannot go wrong and the more you are in practice the more comfortable and second nature things will get. Hope this help
Thank you for your effort 👍
No worries!
Also always verify an order with doctors. Sometimes they will tell you an order to give a med with no route specified. "Give 25 of hydralazine" okkk 25 what? 🤔
💯💯💯
💕💕 Thanks for watching
Can you mentor me please dawling 🙏☺
