I am learning a lot about picc lines, but have some questions. 1) When doing dressing changes, is it ok to take old dressing off with clean gloves as long as not touching insertion site? 2) When using statlocks, do you use steri strips also? 3) Do yo...

Anyone ever hear of or work for Bioscrip home infusion company? I am very interested in working with them. I have a big new hire packet to fill out and the job sounds promising. Also I am possibly going to take a PICC class through PICC Resource in S...

If someone can give me insight as to the difference between polyneuritis and CIDP (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuritis). I have patients with these disorders but not sure the difference.

1) Do you always tell pt to lay down with arm extended out 90 degrees with sterile drape underneath or is it ok to have them sit down, at a table say, and do dressing change? 2) Do you tape tail of lumen to prevent catheter from slipping out from wei...

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I will most likely be back to ask some more questions if thats okay. I love infusion nursing and have been doing home infusion for about 6 months now.

I worked night as single mom and still do. My mom or boyfriend watch my son overnight. If kids are in school then home care or infusion home care is flexible with hours during the day.

This may be a very late reply, but I currently work for them and have no complaints. They pay very well also. I love home infusion nursing.

I feel down in the dumps too. I have applied at over a dozen places with my ADN and I have 10+ years experience as a LPN with med surg exp, but they still consider me a new grad. I think that is crazy. It makes no sense that they would hire a RN with...

I worked at a NY hospital that is part of a 3 hospital, 2 nursing home healthcare system. I worked there 4 years as an LPN. I was told by many coworkers and nurse manager that I was a good nurse. The last year I was there, I was under a lot of stress...
