Yes, they understand now. I also have a better understanding of their need for an 18 gauge in surgery after sitting down with one of the attendings last week and going at it for an hour or so. The funny thing is that I may even agree with them now. BUT! It does not solve the problem of what happens later, when that surgery patient goes back to the floor with that huge 18 gauge in a small hand vein, and the floor nurse starts to infuse IVF's and drugs that sometimes should not even be going peripherally at all through it. We are attempting to think this problem through, and come to a logical conclusion that will best serve the patient. What it will be is anyones guess at this point. At least we see both sides now, and realize we have a problem we have to work out together. Please keep looking for that article. Your help is very much appreciated as always Lynn.
