    Annony RN replied to Surgerygirl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    As long as it is concious sedation, you are certified competant in CS (take the annual class and test), and you have ACLS you should be OK. Sounds like you are not using propofol which would be just...

  13. IV insertion techniques!!

    Annony RN replied to 3KittiesRN's topic in General Nursing

    'Pops' seem to be done, LOL. The old IV's (3 different brands) used to have that "pop" feel but since we switched to the safety needles we haven't felt it. We discussed that alot when we were making...

    Annony RN replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in Pediatric

    Well, I can't say I'm casual but the first few times I had a death grip on it and didn't breathe for the- felt like 25 minutes- until it was back in my basin. I'm pretty sure I couln't handle...

  16. Skull bone flap

    Annony RN replied to gnom's topic in Operating Room

    I agree with David- it's always good to know that you CAN flash the flap in case it falls! We've had to do it. I can handle the flap better between head and table because I know the world won't end...

  19. CCU position eludes me again

    Annony RN replied to ItalianRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Annony RN replied to CNAinNeb's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Annony RN replied to peds_cna's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Is Blazing sun a pattern of Ultrascope? Does your co-worker have the adult or pedi size? I personally prefer a switchable diaphragm + bell. I've had the Littmann pedi and now ADC Adscope pedi to use...
