Wound Vac

[Choircat]

Who changes your wound vac dressings? RN or LPN?

Many of the KCI reps are RN's, WOCN's, ETT nurses and so forth.....We have one that does consulting for wounds and so forth........They probably do the same, and is comfortable with your floor and probably does a lot with you. He came in to do it, forgot to identify himself and so forth.....

I place PICC's at other facilities and have on occasion done the same, only to be asked at the end, "who are you". I think everyone know's me, but they dont.

the wound vacs I have changed were long and drawn out procedures......due to dibilitated patient status................. I always get behind in my work doing them, cause they have to be """ just right...."""
