I am starting the MSN Leadership Feb. 1st :), I am excited too!

This is for work. Can someone just let me know what the recommendation is for how many times to cleanse the catheter site each day?

I would like someone to look up urinary indwelling catheter maintenance for me and respond to me with what exactly it says as to how often to clean the meatus while a patient has an indwelling urinary catheter in. I would VERY much appreciate it, I do not have access unless I am at work and I am working on a project this weekend. Thanks in advance!

Working med-surg I would get low back pain. Now in OR, I get upper back pain and head/neck pain. It's same pain, different places because of different repetitive movement.

Depends on length of being nurse in the hospital.

I am an Or nurse who does hemi's occasionally (because we have a huge orthopedic specialty group and I am in general surgery). What our reps did was hang a laminated walk through on the inside of the hemi cart. So, we can bring the cart in the room and swing open the door for the scrubs/surgeons. Also, knowing where back up supply of sizes are if needed. Having the reps number readily available too! These little things have made a big difference when on call at night with a scrub who doesn't necessarily do it all the time....not to mention a surgeon. Hope this helps.

I hear on the East coast most people have a bachelor's degree, but here on the West coast it's about 50/50 ADN and BSN. We all make the same and have the same opportunity for all jobs (except for public nursing and some school nursing jobs require a BSN). An oncology nurse job is easy to get as long as they want to train you.
