New To Site and Thanks for Allowing Me

[556nato]

Thanks for allowing me to introduce myself.  I'm a BS, RRT of 26 years.  Usually work ED and ICU.  Intubation,  trach changing, aortic balloon pump certified as well as arterial line placement, ACLS and PALS.  I probably don't have much to add, but would enjoy chatting with you folks.  I've been working with EMS half my life and enjoy you people and value your help. Thanks for letting me be part of your group.

good to have you here 556Nato.  I bet your user name has some pretty significant things behind it. 

It's good to have a RRT on board - been a while since we had one here.  

And we welcome most anyone with your type of experience.  You can probably teach us a few tricks.

Welcome!  Love working with the RRT's!  I'm an ER/Trauma nurse and always fascinated by the amount of knowledge you guys have, very valuable asset to the community.

Thanks for the invite.  I've been doing this for so long that I look at everything on patients.  Not just resp stuff. Get a big picture

 Look at home meds, labs, H&H, , BNP, CBC,creat, K+, Na, liver, renal panel,  ammonia..it all plays the part..
