What's your favorite procedure?

Published

Just for fun - Do you have a favorite procedure? I love giving B12 shots. I have a friend that loves blood draws.

I love pacing patients after surgery, if they need it!! I don't know why, I think I just like the option of doing this before calling the doctor for low BP's, brady arrythmias, pauses, etc. :)

Giving enemas is always fun (the old soap and water was especially fun), cleaning up however isn't.

Giving adenosine in RR and watching the effect (when it works) is great.

When I worked in the Northern Territory (Oz) we sutured which was great!!

Debriding wounds, burns.

I haven't graduated yet, but I want to be an enterostomal therapist eventually. Debriding wounds just looks so rewarding. I know there is more to the job than that, but man, it just makes me want to snap my fingers and be done with school so I can get into some necrotic flesh. My family is shocked that I want to do this, I have no explanation for this choice besides that it was meant to be, LOL.

Wow, reading this thread has really opened my mind. I start school in August, and right now if I think too hard about an IV stick, I get dizzy. To think of actually ENJOYING it really turns my head around. Cool! I can see how it would be rewarding though - such a challenge to find that vein in the flesh, and then you get immediate feedback in the flashback if you did it right.

I like giving cocky ER nurses Hell when they call report...

(Especially on cold days, because when they transfer the pt, they're so steamed and red they warm the place up when they wheel in) :angryfire

Count me in for a good cracked chest (but on never my patient :) )

Placing an IV in the patient that is coding

I love teaching/education...especially for families that have a loved on going to (or in) emergency surgery...but all education and teaching is good

I like watching the doctor "pop" an abscess...totally gross but so fascinating at the same time, like popping a big zit...

I appreciate any skill that I do that goes well- especially when on a difficult patient.
