500 cc of Vanco/Ns over 2 hours via pump via picc line
We must use the pumps for safety reasons on the floors at my hospital, even for normal saline. The ER is the only dept that doesn't use them for boluses.

hard of hearing
I have an electronic scope and love it. I used to have a hearing aid but lost it during a code. I now realize my hearing has worsened so I really need to replace it. It's important to truly hear our patients and colleagues. The price of a hearing aid or scope is nothing if we miss something crucial.

Can I accomplish becoming an RN at 26?

How do I contact the CA BRN
I agree with calling the gentleman back first thing in the morning. The BRN is undergoing extreme staffing issues as well as a possible sunset, so the office is under a lot of stress. I understand your frustration. Keep trying, and follow up on the other threads in case someone has additional information that might help you.

Central line dressing days
Dressings are every 6 days and prn. Lines and caps are changed every Monday and Thursday. RNs own their lines although the vascular nurse will sometimes do a change. Patients who present with an outside line will have a picture taken (of the site) and the dressing changed.

Can't get a hold of BRN
The BRN is overseen by the DCA and has no choice in most matters. They're in their Sunset Hearing right now and hopefully there will be changes made without us losing the entire institution.
