DOU RN

We use A&D and an adaptic dressing covered with kerlix and changed daily. We don't want to use any dressing that is going to pull up on the tear and make it worse.

I had an order to give Bactrim 500 cc iv over an hour. The pharmacy sent me a 500cc bag with the bactrim label printed out and place on the bag. I looked through from the other side and saw the printing on the premixed bag itself showed it actually was a bag of Heparin. I called the Pharmacy and they, of course, came right up and took the bag and evidence away with them. Moral---- I don't care how it's labeled. look to make sure it is still the right med in the bag.

Thank you. I think I'm ready. I can handle a reaction every 10 years. It's better than a 60/23 BP and 180-240 HR every shift in the DOU.

Where do I find good allergy patient education info?

I'm a DOU Rn that is getting too old to be working on the stressful and physical DOU. I have an interview for an allergy clinic job this week. What do I need to know for the interview? I'm gleaning all the info in this site, but I didn't see an answer to the last RN who asked for interview advice. How often do you have patients with adverse reactions after the testing or shots?
