With reference to the 'pessary issue'; 'Lvn's' & 'RN's" in the Home Health Care Industry'...

with reference to the 'pessary issue', we are talking about patients that have homehealthcare; are wheelchair bound or bedbound and unable to do the procedure on her own and in addition the patient has 'multiple, 'serious' health issues' that are much more serious than the pessary but gets frequent infections if the the pessary is not changed by a 'trained nurse' as well as 'properly'! We aren't talking about the nurses in the hospitals-- we are talking about the nurses that 'choose' to be in the home health care industry!-- big difference!

To the 'RN' that said she was trained to work in the hospital, tell me why Nurses in the 'e/r' or nurses 'working the floor' cannot 'change' a pessary?

I disagree with this 'RN" because too many women depend on a 'pessary' because they cannot have surgery due to serious nmedical conditions, includung' the 'pessary'!

COUKLD SOMEONE BESIDES THE 'R.N.' THAT ALREADY ANSWERED, PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION?

SHE MAY BE AN R.N.- BUT SHE STILL DOESN'T GET IT!

IN ADDITION, I AM NOT THE IONLY PERSON THAT 'POSED' THE QUESTION!

IT WAS ON HERE BY SOMEONE ELSE BUT ASKED IN A DIFFERENT WAY!

IF THE 'NURSES DON'T LEARN IT IN SCHOOL, PRAY TELL, 'WHERE' ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO LEARN?

wow, you are really fired up about pessary devices. There are two types of issues, emergent and non-emergent. This is clearly a non-emergent issues.

I have a suggestion; start The National Pessary Society. It could be a non-profit that would inform people and remind doctors about the benefits of pessary devices. You could have a conference with CEU's. You could have a walk. There is tons of stuff you can do. It seems like the logical next step.
