Does anyone kow the smallest volume of urine that a bladder scanner will detect? I had a patient who kept registering 00ml however on the image there was a small highlighted area. I was just wondering as there appeared some urine remaining in the bladder.

Sounds like you may have been a preceptor.....haha!

Ahh, you are very wise! I appreciate the advice. I believe it has been divine intervention....I. am a talker! Lol. I will heed your advice! Thank you, so much!

Thanks, Jean Marie46514. I will definitely take your advice and ask. I can hear in your words...no matter what I am feeling...ask. I just pray that others will be gracious and not eat me alive! All I heard through school was"nurses eat their young". That is a bit unsettling. That is definitely not who I am nor who I will be as a nurse. I truly appreciate your comments. I have put on my big girl panites...but I may need to wear some Depends under them! :)

I am a new nurse and start my first job tomorrow. I am so anxious and feel like I know nothing. I did very well in school, but it has been 10 months since I graduated. It was difficult and took many months to find a job. Now I almost feel like I am bordering on panic. Is there anything I can do to ease these feelings?
