WVPICURN

Can someone tell me if the CVP in adults is the same in children?:monkeydance:

I work in a level one 10 bed PICU. Two years ago administration decided that cutting the budget needed to be done and our PICU transport team seen the knife. Now we have very little patients and most of these really do not meet ICU criteria. We are hoping to bring the team back this year; however, we are running into problems. First, none of the old team members work at this hospital now. Second, almost all of our ICU nurses and staff are new to the hospital or ICU environment. I was just wondering how other transport teams are configured. Are the nurses of transport in the ICU staffing, do they take patients, what other roles do they play within the hospital? Please help...
