I have had this happen to me when I was newly qualified and I felt truly awful. So now I am extra super special careful when checking peripheral IV sites. Even though it takes forever I take the splint/backboard off at every check, also tight t shirts or name bands can mask infiltration/extravisation. I always set my I've pump pressures on the lowest they can be set. Which does mean I am constantly silencing alarming pumps when babies wriggle but I'd rather that than miss something. I find feeling the site more useful than just eyeballing it as puffiness feels different to Chubby baby arm :) and you can also feel for hardness or coolness. And like the previous poster said comparing the two hands or feet is always helpful. Don't be hard on yourself lines can go quickly and it may have been fine all day until that last check at handover time.

Thank you very much for the reply. Yes, I am aware that it may be extremly difficult to obtain a visa and it will take a long time. Its just hard to discover what options are available to me, no one in the careers department in my school seems to know. The information regarding the training was very helpful, thank you. and sorry for posting my thread in the wrong place, thanks for moving it.

Hi Everyone! I was wondering if anyone here could offer me some advice? I am a second year Child Branch DipHE student, I would like to transfer to degree pathway in my third year. Overall I want to make the move to the US. However i know that my child branch program will not be recognized in the US. I would like to be able to move as soon as possible, and wondered whether it would be worth training in a US nursing school once i have finished my training here, or to top up my training to adult nursing then to try and relocate? Am i right in thinking topping up to adult branch can take up to two years. Thank you for taking the time to read my post, I would be very grateful for any advice that could be offered. Louise
