thank you to "kids". Excellent information and you didn't make me feel stupid. Much appreciated . It is such a big change for me and a little scary. I couldn't have children.. so kinda blocked them out so it wouldn't hurt so bad. had 2 miscarriages.

HI... I have had cpr training in adults and peds but to be honest I didn't pay much attention to peds as I never thought I would have to work around them. I know the basics but would like to know a 1-2-3 step so I can remember it better. Besides it changes all the time and i want to be sure. also I was with the caregivers that are now there for a few days (like 2). like nursing everywhere ... you are short staffed. I am trying to review everything I can get my hands on so I can do a good job. pros and cons of the mic-key tube. I know vitals are taken differently than adults. I do better if I see things done. And I did but it was very quick and once.. The mother who is trained and has been with the child since birth is there with me all the time. I have had experience with g-tubes and trachs but with peds it may be different. I quess that is what I am asking. Thanks... and the child and I have a good relationship already. That is the good thing. Maybe I am just nervous as I couldn't have children and the last little one that I even babysat is now 22 years old. Just a little unsure of myself.

Hi... I have been in nursing for 31 years for the elderly. Now I am doing part time as a private duty nursing for a 3 year old. I need any information out there. Like cpr... vitals... etc. Anything would be appreciated. He does have a trach and a fdg tube but able to eat po.
