@IVchat ..what dont HCPs get about this??? SINGLE USE... #IVchat

[VascularAccessRN @VascularAccess]

@infusionnurse ..thats why many believe being in a hosp can kill u more than ur illness..LOL #IVchat

[VascularAccessRN @VascularAccess]

@IVchat its a reflection of how the nurse feels..i think depressed=sloppy, poor technique..of course, there's short staffing again..#ivchat

[VascularAccessRN @VascularAccess]

@InfusionNurse @IVchat ..LOL..did u see the comments...it does make sense but not deliberately...

[VascularAccessRN @VascularAccess]

Sure..whats next? “@IVchat: Ready for next topic? #IVchat”

[VascularAccessRN @VascularAccess]

@IVchat so most likely only a few will adapt this..every 1-2hrs..some dont even checks pts that often LOL.....#ivchat

[VascularAccessRN @VascularAccess]

@InfusionNurse not arguing that..but inreality many orgs dont even have a PP on PIVs..#ivchat

[VascularAccessRN @VascularAccess]

@InfusionNurse seems to me like they wld pay more attention to Central Lines than PIV..#ivchat

[VascularAccessRN @VascularAccess]

@IVchat ..i would love to hear what others REALLY do in practice...evry 4h and every 1-2hr...w/ short staff??? #ivchat
