Do you have any idea of their scrub? Can I wear any kind of scrubs and shoes? Thanks in advance.

Has anybody gone through PCH new grad program interview? Do they have clinical question during the interview or just personal/behavioral questions? Do they offer a job within a week? Any idea about salary and benefit? Please, help me and give tons of advice. Thanks.

i took cna1 @ cvcc. it was pretty easy and less expensive. i believe i paid only $85. it took 3 months. one of my friend graduate cvcc adn program. she told me that the instructors were very helpful and their program is :up::up::up:.

Thanks a lot, greenjean. Let me put this way. 1. Can it be possible to have an order of IV piggyback without saying the primary fluid? If that happens, should I call dr.? 2. Let say. The primary line with NS is 100ml/hr. The piggyback has to be infused 20ml/hr. After finishing the piggyback infusion, should I change the primary line (NS) to 20ml/hr for a certain time (I don't know how long it would be good.) because the tubing is filled with the piggyback med? Then, the primary line has to change back to the normal rate (100ml/hr)?

Thanks for the helps. I got one more question. After administering the piggyback infusion, how much NS (or primary IV fluid) will you give if there's no KVO order? Should I disconnect the both IV line and flush with 30ml NS? Or should I leave the primary NS for a while? Then, how long and how much? Thanks in advance.

Even though it sounds like stupid, i'll ask you guys. The position of IV piggyback should be higher than primary line because IV piggyback needs to be infused faster than the primary line. Is that right? If it is right, here's my question. When you use the pump which can be set up two different rate for primary and secondary, can they be placed on the same height since their rate are controlled by the pump? Second question. I got the order to infuse IV piggyback of 100ml @100ml/hr. I set up as 100ml and 100ml/hr. When my nurse came to the room, he told me to change set up to 120ml @120ml/hr. He said 100ml IV bag actually contained 120ml, so he didn't want to waste any fluid. Is that right? Please, give me advice. Third question. I'm still confused about mechanism of iv piggyback. Is anyone able to help me? Thanks a lot.
