We use 0.5% lidocaine intradermally prior to port access. Most of our pt's request it with the exception of our sickle cell pt's that have had their ports for years.
Hello and welcome. The Core Curriculum for Oncology Nursing book is a great reference and you will learn lots. It will also help prepare you if you decide to become certified in Oncology (OCN).
Please help! I need as many inpatient oncology staffing grids that I can find!Please send yours to me. Please include all staff ex: nurses, assistants, unit secretaries and include all shifts. Thanks
