what is your job? why are you the only one 24/7 ?

suzanne4, RN · May 3, 2007

Can you be more specific as to what you are doing?

If working for an ambulance company or flight nurse, you can be on for 24 hour shifts. And you have down time between runs.

If working as a DON in LTC, you can have 24/7 responsibility for your facility, but that does not mean that you are physically there 24/7.

it is a new procedure for the removel of fluid overload. its called aqua phersis. its a form of ultrafiltration. it is done on an out patient basis. i am starting the procedure from the ground up. it started on 5/1 and so far i have had no pts. it is a 24/7 job till i find somebody to work part time to cover me for sick call and vacation. the company is called phersis therapeutics. it is based in ca. i get paid even if i do not have pts. i need somebody to work part time for now with a good possibility of full time in the near future. once it takes off, if i do not have anybody, i will be swamped with work. once there is 1 procedure done ,the md's will see how well it works and the procedure will fly. the procedure is being done in las vegas at southwest medical. they have a close observation unit, that is set up as an icu. the girls at the clinic are very interested and are willing to help. i will be responsible for the procedure and they will take care of the pts other needs ie. pain meds. the md,s are right on the 2nd floor an are a phone call away.
