This afternoon we interviewed 2 nurses (nurses #4 & #5) to go to school with Emylie. We had the school district nurse come and also asked a family friend who is a nurse come to listen in and ask questions where they felt needed.
Nurse #4 - Never changed a trach and no vent experience!! At this point I wanted to cry and tell her she could leave because there was no point in continuing. I was frustrated that the company sent another nurse that had not changed a trach or worked with vents.
Nurse #5 - Has potential. She worked as a tech in the PICU at Primarys before getting her RN and has actually changed a trach AND has vent experience. She interviewed well and I feel she might be a good fit. Dave and I feel we will have her come spend some time with Emylie in the home while we are here and we can go from there. :)
