Clinical Practice
A new membership year has begun at RNAO and I thought it would be fitting to share a little bit about my membership journey.
Draw up 100 mg of Propofol and 50 mg of Rocuronium. That’s a size 7.5 ETT, secured at 22 cm at the lips with a PEEP of 10 on 100 per cent. We have arterial, peripheral and central lines, all in situ, with vasopressin, epinephrine and levophed all infusing.
Seventeen years ago, Ontario nurses were rattled by the arrival of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and the blatant dismissal of our expertise and insight during a scary time for Ontarians.
RNAO’s Fall Tour is always inspiring for me and our CEO Doris Grinspun. We get the opportunity to visit with many of you, where you practise and in the communities you call home across Ontario.
In my last column, I shared news about how RNAO continues to influence health system transformation by supporting Best Practice Spotlight Organizations (BPSO) applying to join Ontario Health Teams (OHT).
