I've always been taught. Each secondary gets its own tubing. You cap it, keeping it clean if it gets unhooked and not capped its trash.depending on your facility polo y how often you change those sencondary. Currently where I work its every 4 days. One place I worked if fluids where intermittent it was every 24 ( unless it was the only piggyback hooked up to continous) And continous changed every 3

We just switched 2 weeks ago to Epic and do / suppose to do bedside report. Epic educators tried to say we shouldnt be writting report any longer. It will be a while before most of us give up our brains in our pockets!. The handoff report screen is ok. Kinda busy and so far as I can find it isnt all on one screen you have to go to 2 or 3. So bedside report for 6 patients logging onto the computer in each room takes forever. And for those "special snowflakes" (love the term BTW I too will probably be stealing it). We finish that segment of the story in the med room or outside the door depending how special they are.

My experience with travelers to AK if they flew they were given s rental car. ( I left AK in June 2009 things may have changed) I would also recommend not signing any leases until you get there and see the place. There are Several sketchy parts, you may be able to go work a few shifts and find a fellow traveler roommate. If you like to hike there are lots of trails all around Anchorage (Flat top is very popular) and 100's more an hour or less away. Plenty to do in the summer peak of tourism.

Sorry for being able to remember all your questions for one response. We drove with our 2 cats it took us a total of 10 days in the winter from NC that includes the 3 days on the ferry. By the way if you choose the ferry option bring some basic food for like breakfast and lunch and then eat s hot meal for dinner the food was expensive for cereal but I don't remember it being to bad for hot items. We put a med dog kennel with a small litter box and Hung a giant hamster water bottle on the side for our cats. And then covered them with a blanket and used ace from the vet for the 1st day and they were fine after that. Getting hotels along the way was a little more difficult b/c of them. The kennel and blanket also for the ferry. You can either leave you animals in you car or there is a designated area for kennels.

The ferry in the Summer is a really nice way to go. Gives you a 3 day breske from driving while still moving, also kinda like a camping trip AK cruise. We took the ferry on our way to AK but it was Jan. I've heard from others you can pitch a tent right in the roof of the boat. Animals have to stay below deck the whole trip. If you choose the ferry you will still get to drive part of the Alaska-Seward highway from Haynes junction To Anchorage. You will still have to pass through customs and you cat will need a health certificate from the vet that us less than 30 days old. The rules to get through are pretty strict make sure you read them you can bring firearms through but its a HUGE pain! I didn't tent camp in AK b/c bears but people do it all the time. I'm more of the TV type.

We transitioned to Epic a week ago from mdeitech. The support from epic has been wonderful standing by on the floor to help us through this steep learning curve. I agree I feel the screens are busy, I have a hard time concentrating on the item I need to be looking for.
