I just wondered if anyone thinks conscious sedation should be something that special training is given to a nurse or just another part of medication administration? The unit I have started in uses conscious sedation and I will be getting "while I'm working" training on conscious sedation but its very informal and nothing specific given on the medications used, just give this or that..of course they know what they are doing but I just feel very uneasy at this point which is early in the game, about doing conscious sedation and all that it entails. To me its very serious with all the potential complications but doesn't seem like a big deal to the ones who have been there a while. What do you think?:)
