wanting to hide in the bathroom rest of the shift
I’m in my last semester of nursing school with just 5 clinicals left until graduation and I just made the most embarrassing mistake ever. I really didn’t want to be here today but I got up and came. my nurse wasn’t too excited to have me and hasn’t been talking to me much so I feel like i’ve been a little zoned out today. she asked me to spike a fluid bag, but i’m short so I got up on my tip toes to do so, and when I turned around I tripped over all of the patients cords and almost fell flat on my face. my nurse just asked the patient if they’re okay but hasn’t said a word to me since. I think i’m going to die from embarrassment
update: thank you guys so much! reading all the replies has gotten me through the entire 12 hour shift and I don’t feel so alone! I know it may seem small to some but being a STUDENT in all caps is hard! i’m almost at the finish line and I guess it wouldn’t be nursing school if I didn’t want to melt in the floor a few more times before graduation lol I think my face has finally stopped being red from embarrassment and I will update the thread after passing nclex!
