Do you advance the cath? Or are these what the MD/pa are doing?
Hello! The MD doing the procedure is responsible for advancing, placing, and manipulating the catheters. Hope this helps!
@@theguidewirerntomd thanks... also what is phase 2 ? Post procedure?
@@Katie-vy5rd Yes, there are different stages of recovery, phase 2 is the second part of the post procedure recovery period. Depending on your workplace, many have a recovery room / unit the patient goes to after post procedure and those nurses take care of the recovery process.
@@theguidewirerntomd thanks so much ! I just picked up a book , Fast Facts for the Radiology Nurse.. Going to read up before starting.. it does sound interesting. Thanks for the reply
Hi,what books do you recommend for new IR nurses??
Hello! Great question, there isn’t many good IR books specific for nurses out there. However, one good book to learn about IR is called the IR playbook, however it is quite technical and much of the information is more procedurally focused. Nevertheless, it’s a good book overall!
Do you stand the entire shift?
Hello! Great question, most of my shift I am standing, moving, or walking. My shifts are 10hours long typically, unless I am on call and have to stay late to finish the day. Hope this helps!
I wonder the same thing every time I’m in IR…
Some Urdu 😂plz
