1. What's your facility's policy? new PIV tubing to new CVL

   Mer817 replied to ANB RN's topic in CCU

   In my facility it is "new lines = new tubes (and bags of course.) regardless of how old the previous tubings are.

2. Staffing & Patient Acuity

   Mer817 replied to tk0224's topic in CCU

   I wish our fresh heart post-ops patients were 1:1! Sometimes even our balloons are paired (as long as the patient is stable and paired with a very stable patient.)

3. Umm...again, how many weeks of orientation?

   Mer817 replied to jrsRN07's topic in LTAC

   I agree with you: 2 weeks is not enough time. They must be very desperate to have staff on the floor, and not at all concerned for their staff or patients. Definitely not somewhere I'd want to work.
