   Be careful about sliding the catheter up and putting it back as this can potentially shear off a small bit of the catheter and introduce it into the vein - we've been taught to twist the cather at the base to release the seal.

6. Considering moving to Georgia

   WorkingHard2bNurse replied to netty78's topic in Georgia

   You might want to try some areas around Peachtree City. The tough thing about Peachtree City is the drive up Hwy. 74 to get to I-85. I live in the town of Sharpsburg in Coweta county. I'm right on the Fayette county (where Peachtree City is) line ...

    Thanks so much! I don't know anything about the Rome area. My husband will be working at Shorter and I hope to get a job at Floyd Medical. I figured living in Rome would be the best bet for both of us to have a really short commute. I don't reall...
