Great content!!! Can you cover some ICU nursing topics? Zeroing an a-line and lining it with the phlebostatic axis, crrt, etc.

[@nursingeducation3952]

I do have some ICU topics on my list, but every time I am about to get started on them I get pulled into something else. Hopefully I'll have some time in the near future to dig into them.

So that green clip isn’t to clamp the foley

[@nursingeducation3952]

yeah, that was a suprise to me too. for years I only ever saw it used at a clamp to get samples, and then the BARD company came in to do inservices and showed it as a sheet clip. BUT, it still works as a fantastic tube clamp to get a sample.
