Good point, Chip. This was not brought up as an issue w/ the syringe, just the fact that it was suppose to increase safety. My concern was that they did not consistently work as they should - and to me that increases the risk of a stick. Appreciate y...
Pipsqueak, Thanks for your reply...I will ck out the link. Seems to me that if they do not retract consistently (when they are suppose to) that removing them from the site, then retracting would be the better way to use it. Sorry to hear about your c...
Is the retraction suppose to take place after the injection and the needle is removed from the pt? Or, do you retract the needle while still in the pt after the medication is delivered? My first exposure to this type of syringe was rather frustrating...
While it is unusual, it is possible. My bp tends to run on the low side and I have had readings similar to what you stated in your post - and I know this is not the norm, tho. SJ
Agree w/ above posters - let us know what you find out. And I would hit up a vet board - not that they are that familiar w/ a human body... I know the clavicle is free standing or floating - has to do w/ jumping from hts. End of my knowledge this am.

I have not heard of this correlation, nor was I able to find any literature on it. As a long time sufferer of migraines, I have heard more antedotes as to what causes them and what should relieve them... Mostly from people who have never had one. F...
We are being taught that touch is a hugh part of head-to-toe assessment - but it is done in a way to maintain pt. privacy, and we are being taught how to make the patient feel comfortable as we do this process. Our prof asks for volunteers for any de...
At my school it is mandatory for students to join and become involved w/ the student nurses' assoc. No problem w/ that since I think we can learn about "corp. politics" in this arena. Also think professionals should be involved w/ their own organizat...
I've had profs like this before - if I have to be in class, I take notes, even if I know the material, just to stay awake. Fortunately, I have not had one like this in nursing school.If they are tenured, there is probably little you can do about it. ...
