Suzie, the super nurse!
0August 25th, 2009Suzie changed my PICC dressing and flushed it successfully last Friday. I am very impressed, as she has no medical/nursing background, and she had only ever seen the procedure done once. Nowadays when I have bloods taken out, the phlebotomists use my PICC line. After they have taken the blood, they need to flush the line. On Monday when I mentioned that Suzie had flushed the line, and changed the dressing, the phlebotomist nurse asked, or stated rather: “she had been practising a couple of times under the supervision of a nurse?” I think she was impressed that Suzie had managed to do it, as according to her, even the experienced nurses find the PICC dressing change fiddly. Well done, Suzie!
