Today, I was stuck in the ICU with my 10 month-old. They spent more than an hour and multiple pricks to get a vein for cannula. I had to endure and hold him down through all of it. Half and hour later, he promptly smeared poop all over his cannula bandage area during a diaper change. FML

As a nurse I sometimes ask the parents to wait outside especially if I think it’ll be difficult because it can be very stressful and it’s easier for staff to get it done quickly without also comforting family. I also absolutely always bandage a cannula because kids will pull them out in seconds.. or smear poo on them!
