the infusion nurse I work with does not utilize heparin flush, how can I explain to her we need to use them?

I am planning to go this route, thanks.

did you take the job>?

My current setting, we run everything by gravity, hence why I have refused to run the chemo myself. The one infusion nurse may leave and I may get pressurized to help out. I spoke with head of operations for the company that serves as the umbrella for some practices in the area including ours, she was nonchalant about it. She told me their Maryland offices run it by gravity too. I was surprised about this as it doesn't seem like standard of practice. My prior office ran fluids and vesicants by pump.

I am a Nurse practitioner now , working in oncology only since January 2021. Should for this certification?

How about flushing the port when not in active treatment, but the patient and provider mutually decide to maintain the port in case of an emergency or cancer returns? I have heard 6-8 weeks or 3 weeks.

It honestly varies by practice or facility. I worked for my first oncology position for a year and change, without RN experience in oncology or any related certifications. Now in my second position in hem/onco and I feel I get to do more in this practice than my prior position. It is far more challenging. Now I am wondering if I should do the nursing oncology certification then do the one for advance practice nurses. As a member of ONS, I get a nice discounted rate.

supposed to be a good program I applied twice but was not accepted, but I did graduate from somewhere else two years ago and have been working as an np since March 2018. Good luck!

that is my next class, thanks for asking this question

the school an provide you a list of sites approved in the past but will not help you secure preceptors
