My Sweet Daughter's Smile
Oh dear, I couldn't help the tears rolling down my eyes. Your family went through a great ordeal. I couldn't hold myself back from thinking of how I'd handle illness as a nurse when I marry and have a family of my own. I'm so glad she's doing better now and I pray that none of yours would go through this again.

IV infusion for 4 hours 8 hourly x 3 doses
Please I need your help. A doctor prescribed and intravenous infusion to run for 4 hours 8 hourly x 3 doses. My question is, how many hours do I give in between the doses before commencing the next one. For instance if I give dose 1 at 10am and it runs till 2pm, when will I put up the next dose, is it by 6pm or 10pm. A link to standard recommendations would be lovely to have too. Thank you.

Not a Near Death Experience: A Shared Death Experience
I couldn't hold back the tears as I read this narrative as well as the comments. What an experience. Somehow I felt some emotion of regrets. I don't know why but I think it could be because I had put myself in the writer's shoes and wished I hadn't parted with my husband if I knew we would share such bond.

I think that may be where the issue lies. Thank you Nurse Beth for your tips regarding what one knows about the hiring company and what one can contribute. I actually have an interview next week. I hope to nail this job.

IVEA - The Innovative Replacement for the IV Pole - NTI
I do think this is a positive development and from the description, I did not see where it eliminated a nurse from the picture. However, it reduces the need for more nurses, who could be helping other patients in achieving optimal care, to help tag the gadgets along as described. And for safety, based on the nurse's assessment, she/he will be able to determine who can and cannot be allowed to utilize that technology. This is a welcome development I think.
