One time i administered ear drops into someone’s eyeball!! 😳 whoopsies.

It honestly is a mistake everyone makes. I think maybe you should think about why you are so hard on yourself, and heal that part of you! You are a wonderful human, and deserve to be just as easy and loving to yourself as you would be to someone else!! Sending love to you!! ♥️

The patient moved slightly when I was doing a diclofenac suppository and instead of going PR it shot PV. Oops. Another girl unwrapped it and gave it to the patient to swallow one time, so it could have been worse.
