  6. Ethics Violation-Would you remain silent or challenge the system?

    kukukajoo replied to MissJanelle904's topic in General Nursing

  11. Normal Saline in a nebulizer?

    kukukajoo replied to LadySugarBug's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it works very well. Think of the vent tents- same concept almost. The nebulizer mists the NS and that in turn loosens the secretions and thins them out. Good way to go without drugs if it works...

    kukukajoo replied to kukukajoo's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
