    I've never used an ISTAT, so can't speak to your question as it relates to ISTAT use, but found a website that you may find helpful in terms of line placement and values of venous gases:

    Bullied in the workplace

    vanilla bean replied to medicbird's topic in General Nursing

    Your story, as you've relayed it here, does not seem like bullying to me. More a case of you not being the right fit for the job at this point in time. Being spoken to about showing up for work late...
