Love that you’re a CICU pediatric cardiac nurse! Because of your Hx, you’re in such an amazing position to truly relate to your patients better than most (plus you seem to be a truly beautiful soul that the kiddos would very likely look up to and love).
Oh, thank you very much for your videos. But there is one thing I would like to know: Organisation of care of children patients with CHDs in your country (I think all USA, even if I would be satisfied with limitation of New Jersey or Pennsylvania). Here, in the Czech republic (respectively in time of Czechoslovakia, because it happened in 1977; that was year when Czechoslovakia still existed - and three years before I was born) great children cardiocenter was founded (by pediatric doctor Milan Šamánek, he died in 88 years in 2020). And in year of founding it was the only such center in the world. But it was not only about center for children cardiac patients (children patients with CHD), it was about all system of care. And this system was called "Czech way of care of children with CHDs" - and copied in many countries (maybe also in yours - but I don't know). Not-urgent CHD (non-cyanotic) were solved in chain: "general practice pediatric doctor - country pediatric cardiologist - regional pediatric cardiologist - cardiocenter". It means that county pediatric cardiologist may or not decide, based on diagnosis, to send patient to regional pediatric cardiologist - and he may send patient to cardiocenter. Meanwhile urgent (cyanotic) was immediately sent to cardiocenter.
