Just wondering if you were currently enrolled in the adult health NP program at Stoney Brook, and if so, how is the program. I am considered a summer enrollment and live out of state
Cogratulations! I completed the didacted portion of the PICC line certification online through BARD. I was actually supposed to go to place my lines tomorrow but because of hospital legal issues it has been postponed for 3 weeks. I know that if you use BARD products at your hospital they will send a preceptor dowm for 2 days to precept you. You have to insert a minimum of 5 lines per day. This is at no cost to you but does cost the hospital 150 dollars each for 10 nursing kits they require you to buy. I assume radiology places most of your PICC lines. Most of them are very open to letting nurses with certification put in lines. Can't hurt to try. Let me know how it turns out.
