  1. IV's- nursing or medical decision?

    Angie2B replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency
    I've had my transplant 23 years. Numerous ER visits. I have only had one set of blood cultures drawn. Urine specimans are almost always cleancatch, Chest xrays are diagnosis dependent. I have never had the extensive workup that you are describing, it has always been the least invasive as possible. The only times I remember automatically getting IV starts was dehydration and chest pain related.

  2. IV's- nursing or medical decision?

    Personally, I am a nurse who has had a renal transplant. My veins are really precious, I would hate to have one blown just because it's protocal. Also, with nosocomial infections I would not want to risk a hospital infection, if I did not need it. Maybe this Dr. has similar concerns before placing an IV. What area of medicine is she in?
