One positive learning experience I had today was administering medications. I was able to observe the nurse on duty prepare and give my patient her 7 am meds and then this afternoon I was able to prepare and give her the meds. Even though we did learn to give meds in sim lab I think it’s always a little different in person but after the observing and giving her two meds I feel more comfortable with the entire process by doing the 3 checks and 6 rights of medication. I was able to observe the nurse do the 6 rights to medication and even though she doesn’t ID the patient she knows which patient is who.
My patient was really was really cooperative so I was able to do everything I needed with her but in discussion there were a couple learning
