I met Helen Perry through the Emergency Nurses Association grapevine and the almighty Facebook.

Let me tell you about Helen Perry… After serving five years as a nurse in the military, Helen went to Georgetown University and received her Nurse Practitioner (NP) degree.

It had snowed 2 days before. Not much, just a couple of inches of fluffy, sugary white stuff. For days, her little footprints were still clearly visible. Into the woods behind my house. Headed half way to my neighbors house to check on his dog. The flattened area where she rolled. She loved to roll in snow. The steady cold weather ensured that those footprints would remain undisturbed for weeks.

Whispyhistory / CC BY-SA Look back in history, and you’ll surely find that during every tragedy, war, or disaster, nurses were on the front lines. From Florence Nightingale roaming between rows of beds, filled with wounded soldiers, carrying an oil lamp to light her way, to modern day nurses who travel in dangerous, underdeveloped parts of the world to provide care to those who need it the most, we’ve always been there.

The purpose of a triage interview is to gain pertinent information about the patient as quickly and efficiently as possible. It is best to let the person triaging direct the questions. It saves a lot time. It helps when it is actually not painful. In truth, it is acutely painful at times. While I was watching the Wizard of Oz recently, it occurred to me that explaining how the triage interview works can be compared to the tale of how Dorothy comes to be present in Oz.

ER nurses are really good at IV's. Patients who profess to have "bad veins, being a really hard stick" and ask for someone "very experienced with difficult veins" are frequently not all that difficult.if you know where to look. It begs the question, "how do you get good at starting difficult IV's if you don't do it often enough to get good at it?" Often patients who will pick their IV spot have done so repeatedly, so "that one good vein" is no longer a viable option.

The common question is, how do you do what you do? As the answer to this question is initiated, it’s rapidly followed by —I could never! Interruption ensues, even before any cogent rendering of any semblance of an answer. No blame or labeling is assigned, but rather an acceptance of simple human subconscious defense. The result is a mutation of the ‘I want to’ into a “should” and ends in one ‘shoulding’ all over oneself.
