. 👶🏽🩺🫀TAG THAT L&D, NICU & PEDS REGISTERED NURSE😷🍼 . “It Takes a Believer To Know” and being a special person to become a nurse, but that's even more true for those who go on to become Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) @CardiacStrong nurses. . 😷These dedicated professionals care for the most fragile patients there are–sick & premature newborns like this baby who was born prematurly at 27 weeks gestation weighing only 1.5 pounds (700g). . 😷Since this newborn was premature, his lungs weren't fully developed which he suffered from a neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, & this occurs almost exclusively in premature infants. . 😷It is characterized by insufficient production of surfactant, which normally helps in keeping the lungs inflated and prevents the collapse of the alveoli. . . 😷He required 3 doses of pulmonary surfactant for his lungs and had just completed antibiotic treatment for a possible early sepsis and the good news was he was still in stable condition!

. Greetings my fellow nurses with today’s Surgical Saturday and don’t forget to swipe right. . This patient was an industrial worker who got their arm stuck in a machine for shaping & cutting metal & wood. The machine grabbed their arm and the patient almost suffered a complete amputation. . The forearm begins at the ulna and radius, attached to the distal end of the humerus. The wrist and finger flexors are located on the anterior side of the forearm . The median nerve, an important nerve of thumb opposition which runs over the pronator teres at the elbow and dives between the flexor digitorum superficialis and profudus before entering the wrist at the carpal tunnel. Now remember your anatomy my fellow @NURSEpiration Nurses.🙌🏽 . In cases of severe wrist or forearm lacerations, the median nerve can often be damaged, causing atrophy of the thenar (thumb) muscles. The posterior side of the wrist contains many wrist and finger extensors, and contains the ulnar nerve, which is important for hand sensation and extension. So hopefully this is bringing back your nursing school memory lane of anatomy & physiology. . Without an intricate combination of many small and large muscles in the forearm, a wide array of fine motor skills would be impossible. Therefore, this surgery used a reconstructive technique called a skin graft to repair the arm which uses artificial or sometimes even the patients own skin to repair the injury. . 😷💊Tag a friend to help us spread this great nursing @NURSEpiration medical education my @CardiacStrong Nurses! 😷. . ❤️TURN ON POST NOTIFICATIONS💪🏽 .

Time to bring in the “REINFORCEMENTS”💉As a @CardiacStrong Registered Nurse we become I.V. leaguers but saying you have nice veins is not a pick up line my fellow NurseBrothers and NurseSisters😅 . . Let's keep it 💯% real & stop me when I lie when I say it does feel great to get that flash return once that IV is inserted on a hard stick from the other 3-4 nurses that failed. . . If you’re always scared out of your wits every time someone asks you to insert an IV line, you’re not alone. IV therapy is a delicate procedure that one can only master through the right information and clinical experience so remember practice makes perfect, unless they are dehydrated, chronic smoker and or they receive dialysis.

. NURSE & DOCTOR RELATIONSHIP . What Can Nurses Do to Improve the Relationship with Doctors? . 1. Respect the doctor’s time. Physicians bounce from one patient to the next & time is a precious. It’s important that as nurses help them maintain a certain level of efficiency. For example, do not start conversations with “I’m sorry to bother you.” Be prepared for rounds, anticipate problems ahead of time & always have a chart in hand when calling an MD. . 2. I would also recommend to refrain from complaining about physicians to other staff members & instead confront them directly by speaking in private. If needed, get a manager for additional support. . 3. Be conscious of behaviors that affect the relationship. Thanking & acknowledging physicians with whom a good working relationship is present can go a long way, while identifying negative behaviors from MD’s where a positive relationship is lacking can be an important step in making things better. Make sense? Ok let’s move on to the next one. ——- Here’s a few recommendations for my fellow MD’s!!! . 1. A little respect goes a long way right? I know there’s many of us @CardiacStrong RNs working, but how about using a nurse’s name? That makes a huge difference & if a physician does not know it, it can be useful to ask, as simply doing so is a form of recognition. No worries at all. Simplicity at its finest. . 2. Be considerate of the nurse-patient relationship. When walking into the room, doctors should provide space when the nurse’s are interacting with the patient since we do spend most of the 12hrs at the bedside. Discuss the care plan for complicated cases directly with us nurses, as this helps doctors take full advantage of opportunities to educate most us @NURSEpiration nurses. . . 3. Lastly, Why not create a culture of inclusion. Inviting nurses on rounds by focusing on being a leader rather than a commander since we are all an integral part of the healthcare as a team. This will make all of us nurses more comfortable asking questions & sharing pt’s concerns without feeling inferior or troublesome. . .
