Aug 7, '12 by caliotter3There are links to information here. Attend any available class. Request training from another nurse, specifically one already working with that patient, and accept the training from the mother. Pay particular attention to actions necessary in emergencies. Those are the avenues available to hh nurses new to vents. After time with the patient with Mom there as backup, you will feel less anxious.
