Nursing

IV stands for intravenous; meaning into the vein. Infusion means the process of administering a medication through the IV. An IV is usually place in a patient's hand, or arms and provides a site of access to the patient's blood stream. Infusions of medications given though an IV work much quicker than medications taken by mouth, because they do not have to be absorbed by the gastrointestinal track. The way that IV's work is a needle is inserted into the skin and then into a blood vessel within the body. The needle has a plastic sheath, or covering on it, that is then slid off and left in the vein as the needle is removed. Once the needle has been removed a small hose is connected to open tube in the vein. The other end of the small hose is connected to an elevated bag or bottle that contains medication. Essentially an IV infusion is like having a small hose pouring medicine into your blood vessel.

There is no such thing as an assistant nurse. There are CNA's and assistive hospital personel. CNA stands for Certified Nurse Assistant. Though these people are not nurses they do aide nurses a great deal. They have a few months of training and a certificate to do the job that they do. Mostly, they record vitals for the nurse (pulse, blood pressure, temp, ect.), they make beds, give bed baths to patients, change diapers, feed patients, and help move patients. With out these people nurses would have too much work to do, so RN's are respectful of them.

Character from Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".

A counselor's job is to help a patient learn more healthy ways of thinking and behaving. Some patients have a mental disorder like depression or schizophrenia, and will never be cured. The counselor helps those people to learn ways of dealing with their disorder and coping in the "real world." Other people are suffering from a temporary condition like grief or anxiety. The counselor helps these people learn more healthy ways to deal with their emotions, and they are cured.
