What is your favorite nursing skill?
-
IV starts. Especially when they tell you “youre gonna need an US” and you you get it on the first try. ( however I hate doing straight sticks lol)
-
NGT - so satisfying. Especially when you have a SBO and they’ve been vomiting all day. You dropped the NG tube in and that canister fills up so much you have hurry up and put another canister in. ❤️

Suctioning a gunky trach, especially the ones with audible secretions and they’re tachypneic and as soon as you finish suctioning them, they’re breathing better at a normal rate. 😫😫 love it
