HELLO I work for a homecare agency.and they asked me to do a vent patient. I have trach experience but not for a vent. They said they would train me but I fear the ventilator!😣😣😣what is your experience with this machine?

Oh ok that's why they told me if I have trach experience then I'm good.. That machine just scares me but I'm willing to.try. I know the need for.vent nurses is high!

Can anyone answer this? Order: acetaminophen exlixer 10mg/kg po. Child weight is 10pounds Available: acetaminophen elixir 160mg/5ml. How much acetaminophen will you administer?

HELLO I have been crying all day. I have never tested positive for PPD until now! Nurse told me its a +4 I'm.so.afraid!!!! I don't have any symptoms but will need to have a xray and my doctor wants me to.start medication. Has this happened to anyone...
