She showed me stuff about the Vent the buttons I already talked to the Nurse about it once in orientation, but I still had lots of questions. I basically did everything right because the patient can talk and helped me through it and there wasn't anything except draining the tube from water before I turned the client, and placing it on standby. The trach was also no brainer It is not inner canula and it is not sterile. All it was is dressing change. The followup nurse said, everything was good and I did okay. Alot of insecure feelings came from me.

Sorry, I do realize this is new post and you have probably not followed my others. I did not clarify in this one I did a 2 hour orientation, but I still felt uncomfortable being their alone so when I talked with my supervisor she said she have someone there for moral support.

I really thought this was support forum you being a premium member and all, but the icon shows that you are laughing. So I wont be adding any more here.

Really sucks you can't even get support here.
