Today was the end of my shift as a student nurse. Earlier, I was tasked to take vital signs of a classmates patient. While taking her VS she asked me "Is there a chance of survival for babies even after the water bag broke?" I was shocked I didnt know what to say. I told her that yes there is a chance and possibility.

After going back to our station, I looked up to her chart and it says "inevitable abortion". I fucking fucked up. I wanna go there and explain to her. But i was weak i didnt have the guts to do so. How can I tell that it is not applicable to her case.

I wanna say sorry to her. I wanna go and explain to her. Im so mad. Im so mad that I didnt have the courage to correct my mistake at that moment. Now, i dont have the chance to correct it.

I fucking doubted. I know that I should not act when unsure but I still fucking did.

TL;DR: I told a patient whos diagnosis "inevitable abortion" that theres a chance for babies to survive after the water bag broke.
