My Personal Journey from Caregiver to SCIG Patient

“I am of certain convinced that the greatest HEROES are those who do their duty in the daily grind of domestic affairs whilst the world whirls as a maddening dreidel.” – Florence Nightingale. These words resounded in my head when learning about the pioneer of nursing, the great Florence Nightingale. I’ve always taken pride in doing my best, no matter how small or how big my assigned duty was. In becoming a nurse that work ethic increased 10-fold, in my eyes at least. I was now responsible for the care of someone’s mother, father, brother, sister, son or daughter! Their lives greatly depended on my care for a certain number of hours in a day and in many occasions the care provided indicated how the patient’s prognosis would be.

Subcutaneous Immune Globulin Supplies and Equipment

Subcutaneous immune globulin (SCIG) administration allows the patient more freedom and control by eliminating the complexity of the process, when compared to intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) administration.

  • Disease States, Infusion Basics, IVIG Essentials, Neurology
Regardless of the area of specialty any nurse is employed, we all have learned the importance of the holistic approach to patient care. We regularly assess cardiac and respiratory function through monitoring vital signs. We are trained to ask about a history of things like diabetes and high cholesterol. We adjust and adapt medications and work in concert with medical physicians to address these common medical conditions, thus improving our knowledge level in these areas.

Troubleshooting Implanted Ports

  • Infusion Basics
It is your responsibility to make sure you're providing the best care to the patient and alerting the pharmacy once you suspect or detect an issue with the CVAD. This could be a life saver! You are our eyes and ears in the patient's home and we rely on you heavily for critical feedback.
