When I first started I made a lot of mistakes. I no longer make most of these mistakes. Its just about learning from them.
1. Forgetting essential equipment I.E Clipboard, pen, steth, bp, pen light
2. Forgetting to write down important information to give a proper PT report
3. Putting restraints on incorrectly
4. Forgetting to remove my BP cuff from PT (still do this at least once a day).
5. Forgetting PT'S belongings (oops)
6. Telling dispatch we need to service due to house tank being empty. Then finding out the house tank was just not turned on. (hehe)
7. Taking a BP on an A/V shunted arm. (whoopsie)
8. Getting lost (mapping sucks! hehe)
9. Not eating before a shift (doesn't sound to bad, but when you are on your 5th straight call and 10 hours in with no break you'll wish you ate something)
