@RNSuperHero Remember that nurse who connected the central line to a enteral feeding? I worked there. Two nurse sign offs on every single feeding for 5 years!

@DonnaDomingo15 First of all I just can’t comprehend how second Of all what a ridiculous two person sign off

@RNSuperHero “ see the pulsating thing on your screen? That’s an artery.” 🥴

@Rickchik1 That’s what I tell people when I teach them ultrasound. If it’s moving don’t poke it 😂

@RNSuperHero He was a resident….? Experienced nurses should be allowed to level up with the US

@Aoretta Exactly

@RNSuperHero RNs do u/s guided PIVs at my hospital

@RNSuperHero why cant your nurses place ultrasound guided IV catheters?

@RNSuperHero That definitely does not read like the argument they think they are making

@RNSuperHero

@RNSuperHero Apparently they aren’t familiar with INS standards……… which will bite them in the ass if they have a bad outcome from a misplaced IV

@RNSuperHero Actually ultrasound should avoid this problem. It is operator error, not an indictment against the technique Has nothing (obviously) to do with nurses.

@RNSuperHero And here we are training our techs to do it, too. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@RNSuperHero I had an ED attending do that once!! 😱 Aint nobody perfect!! I made her take it out!

@RNSuperHero Well, in the short term nothing. Except nurses monitor a patient’s recovery so hoping the nurse present called the nursing sup for a surgeon. ASAP.

@RNSuperHero Yeah just like when we aren’t allowed to put NGs in pts with basal skull fractures then residents do them instead and…bad things happen.

@RNSuperHero Isn't ultrasound how you prevent that from happening?

@RNSuperHero So many thing wrong — Let alone it not having to do with nurses Residents are training and should be supervised. Why do we have to have a hyper-reactionary culture to every single error? Why not fix the system instead of ban the use of the tool that actually IMPROVES safety?

@RNSuperHero Residents & Interns ARE NOT MORE SKILLED THAN RN’s! I used to save the easiest of IV starts for a few when they were working Trauma or ICU. Plus,I placed a good dozen Arterial lines after they had missed, saving their asses! I also did a Crico-Thyrotomy once when 4 failed ET’s!
