Nurses and PICC nurses!
Obviously it is a pain when a patient pulls their line. It adds stress, time, and cost to our jobs. Just curious... when a patient pulls an IV under your care, who is paying for it in your case? Who is paying for the extra cost and supplies? Is it you? Is it the patient, insurance, your hospital? I wanted to see how different hospitals compare the ways in which extra costs are taken care of!
I would really appreciate any input!! Thank you

Maybe they are already in nursing school and they are studying a unit about IVs right now. I agree that I don't understand the obsession over IVs if you are only a pre nursing student
