We are looking for any information in the usa on Linet beds...we want to visit a site.

Thanks we are going to trial those beds.

Has anyone used the Linet beds longterm....I work at smaller hospital and we and in desperate need for USA information.

I agree they are spoiled! Can someone please come tell them what a Telemetry consists of. How about those patient ratios?

@MunoRN I spoke to our IT about the ordersets. Is there anyway you can email so we can chat about them. They want to know how they are set up and use as a guide for ours(not copy):) [email protected] please

thanks for the information. I have put together a powerpoint and education packet with test. The nurses are in an uproar because they feel they have to many patients(days: 5:1 or 4:1 and nights 5:1 or 6:1) on a unit that only have 34beds and the only drips are heparin, and,integrillin. The critical educator gave me an insert from Amiodarone dated 2001 and told me her staff uses sticky notes on IV to remind them of switch from 6hrs to 18hr dosing. No ordersets here and I wish i could see how yours are put together so I could do the same at our hospital. I may have to get IT on it. Thanks again....

Thank you for your reply. I will give it a try.

Busy telemetry med surg floor needs help assigning patients by acuilty and not room number. Help anyone......

Our Telemetry unit will start administering Amiodarone IV. I was wondering if the nurses should have a formal competency or education(Powerpoint, education packet, and a test). Any suggestions would be helpful. If a competency is preferred and someone give me an idea of what should the competency consist of. :confused::confused:
