2. Dialysis patients who are incontinent

   1940Nurse replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

   Ok that's a clarification. But I'll tell you from experience, it's almost impossible to clean someone up in a lounge chair. They can turn in those darn things. With the arm rests in the way. About breaks the care givers back. Been there done that....

4. Dialysis patients who are incontinent

   1940Nurse replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

   1940Nurse replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

   If you'd read all the posts you'd see that a nurse alone MIGHT have difficulty standing a patient and pivoting them WITHOUT legs onto a bedside commode. What I said was which would be worse a poopy butt or a broken hip? I never said you critized any...

9. Anything about PPR Travel?

   1940Nurse replied to waynerrn's topic in Travel

    1940Nurse replied to VirginiaHDRN's topic in Urology

    Are you heparinizing your dialyzers during prime? If your chambers are filling up too much then you have something clamped either the arterial or venous line before you have turned off your pump or you aren't releasing your clamps when you turn on ...

    1940Nurse replied to glenwood's topic in General Nursing

    Is it "dirty" money to the inept management replacement nurses? Why aren't they following the union and striking too?
