  1. Saline shortage

    Thank you! I actually did find a compounding pharmacy recently. Prices are absurd, but it could come to that if we can't find anything else. Thankfully, our backordered supply came in, but it is not much. The RN who was here previously ordered a ...
  2. VisIV™ Flexible Container

    Can anyone tell me if Hospira's VisIV Flexible Container requires different connection tubing? We are considering this alternative to our current 0.9% NS solution for use with Remicade infusion, however, I am hesitant to buy without knowing if I nee...

    Is j2stactical.com a side business :)?
  4. RN to BSN in 6 months

  8. Saline shortage

    Thank you! I appreciate any tips at this point. I did find a couple of boxes of 250 mL bags but they are about 4x the normal cost. From what I am hearing on some other boards, that sounds like the norm for those who have had to order from over sea...
  9. Saline shortage

    I have started a new job as an infusion therapy nurse. One of my first tasks is to locate 0.9% NS for use with Remicade infusions. We are currently on back order from our distributor (Henry Schein). I know B. Braun was approved to begin shipping s...
  10. Job Market in NH?

    I've heard Portsmouth Regional Hospital is hiring. I've also seen a lot of postings about Exeter Hospital recently as well.
