Why You “Miss” IVs #shorts
I often see nurses “miss” IVs for three main reasons: they don’t know the anatomy of the IV catheter or human anatomy, they don’t know how to “plump” up veins to make them easier to see and feel, and they don’t utilize the resources around them.

Nurses' Guide to Respiratory Terms: The Basics
Переглядів 1,7 тис.2 роки тому
Hi friends, in this video we are going to be defining some basic respiratory vocabulary and breaking them down into simple terms. Specifically, we’re going to define the PEEP (positive-end expiratory pressure), PIP (peak inspiratory pressure), Vt (tidal volume), FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen), and RR (respiratory rate). I’ve found that using a balloon is really helpful way to visualize this...

Why Don't Extremely Premature Infants Survive?
Video was helpful but it sounds like jibberish to ADD people like me because you talk extremely fast!!!! Thanks 😍
Hi can you show how to care for nicu patients on ventilation? Invasive and non invasive
Hi can i ask.. is the uac transducer should be outside or inside incubator?? We are placing it beside the patient level of the heart.
WOW THIS WAS SOOOOO HELPFUL THANK YOU
Very very helpful 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Do you need to disinfect the skin with alcohol wipes before administering the epipen?
👍
Thanks so much ❤
You are beautiful
Awesome tips! Are you on social media?
I love how enthusiastic you are when teaching! I find it easy to stay engaged with the content. Please post more videos. Pediatric nursing content is very limited on the internet.
It wasn’t tough at all, my flight paramedic exam was way harder
Better that some videos, but a fail on showing the discharge into your palm, remake the video with a real life leg.
Thanks, your video made it easy.
Hi Anna Iam Also Registerd Nurse
THANK YOU 🥹
Thank you!
Allen Maria Anderson Mary White William
can you use someone else’s epipen on anybody
Im very bad i do get but i dont get a sec flush back
Please explain about medication writing by mmol and covert my ml. Thanks
I understand, Thank you so much this video has been help full for me!!! again thanks!!!
So on a 6 year old would you administer the epii pen straight through the clothes and she has severe allergies peanuts and eggs what about if it doesn’t click if you haven’t pressed hard enough
You have confused me thanks
Holy smokes that little blood pressure equation is one of the greatest pieces of information I've ever gotten in my entire life!!
Critical Care Transport RN are very hard to find! I am a Recruiter for Sutter Health and we have a position available in San Francisco, CA offering a $15,000 sign on bonus! You need to have Pediatric Intensive Care Unit experience. If anyone is interested or know someone that might be please comment. THANK YOU!
Thank you !
Do not approach the child when in the incubator?
I just got one myself. With a trainer. When I use the trainer, and hit that orange thing on the thigh, I will hear a popping click but no needle is going to go through because it is a trainer?
Very thorough and ti the point...
Thanks you for let us know
Which type of social Media you active in please 😊 of someone wanted to contact you directly? 😊🙏🏻🌹
Thank you 🙏🏻😊❤
What more NICU-specific content? Follow me on TikTok! www.tiktok.com/@neostat
So helpful!!!!! Thank you
Anna Consider highlighting AQST stock and Libervant in a video. This innovative drug could transform emergency treatments, offering an alternative to EpiPens. Awaiting FDA approval on April 28th, its sublingual film, similar to Listerine strips, promises faster, more effective results. Easier to use than conventional EpiPens, it could be a significant advancement.
Tha you for this video It helped🥰
Thank you
Just got a job as a school nurse 😩..so many kids with allergies. I hope I never have to use this but we have a lot of uninformed, forgetful teachers that shrug 🤷🏽♀️ and say “oh, I gave him milk , I didn’t know”. Love the job , just need to b ready for action from the looks of things.
Right here with you! Went from one to one onto full fledged school nurse and I am looking at videos left and right! I’m thankful for all the videos online🙏🏾🤲🏿
Just watched a video from Mass General Hospital and it said hold in for 3 seconds. Training I just finished said 5 seconds, so guess you can choose what you want.
Thank you so much the fountain visual made so much sense no other video made as much sense as this one did 😭
I've recently acquired a severe peanut allergy. When I was told I need an epipen I thought "how the heck I use that?!" So the video is helpful
Yes I would love to see scalp and foot IVs
Thanks so much for these videos! I’m looking to take mine soon and I found this very helpful
Shouldn’t you also massage the area after administering the auto injector?
Maam! Straight to the point! Thorough! Thank YOU!
I think they should have made a universal epicenter one for all like with Benadryl in it
Great demo!😊
I just received a epi pen and looking for ideas of how to carry a pen on a daily basis. I am A guy. There is no videos of suggesting how to carry it on a daily basis.
Thank you! I have some questions: Can you administer through jeans or you need to remove pants? Does the needle come out by itself when you press firmly? Are there actually state laws preventing another person injecting it for you? Are they immediately effective? Within seconds or minutes?… Is it one-time use? If you give the shot when they don’t need it, can this be harmful? Or is it ok and will not affect them? Does the needle automatically retract back?
All of these are good questions and I wish they had been answered. I do believe in the video that she said use of the EpiPen medicine has no country indications so no need to worry about that . I wonder if it hurts and also wonder if somebody else could be liable if they did the injection for you or had to do it for you. I will be picking up my first one from a pharmacy and the nurse at my doctor's office said that I would not be injecting it that someone else would have to inject it if so needed. On tv, I've always seen people do this to themselves.
