Too bad beautitians are considered non-essential.

Do you know the name of the port, or if there is a name for the procedure? Thanks, Val

I asked an established nurse a question similar to yours. Her reply was with the shortage of nursing student slots, we should encourage only 'young' nurses, because we would get more working years out of them. While this might be true, my feeling is that most of what we GIVE as nurses comes not from books or the classroom but from life experiences. Hang in there chick!

1. We've got a couple of patients that are getting abdominal centesis every week or so. This can be pretty time consuming and stressful to the patient/family. We were wondering of anyone uses a permanent indwelling drain. something that could be accessed 'at home', by the nurse and drained prn? 2. Was told there are some urinary catheters that are impregnated with an antibacterial solution to minimize UTIs in patients that have long term catheters. In the same topic does anyone have suggestions for patients that catheters that continually clog with sediment? 3. Looking for a form that documents medications left in home (acknowledge the meds left). Thanks, Val Harney County Home Health/Hospice 'The littlest agency in the nation'
