I hope this response is not too late. I just found you guys and this page, and this is phenomenal! I am fan-girling a little bit. There are some nurses here that I so very admire and aspire to be on this page; it is unreal!! Your knowledge and contributions have been invaluable to me and thousands of other nurses! Thank you so much for that!!
I agree, I think a lot of these topics would be fantastic! I am a military spouse, and I frequently end up in places with no pediatric-specific ERs, leaving me as the only peds guru in a mixed ER. Being able to bring any of this back and share it with adult staff would be so wonderful.
That being said, with this cold and flu season the way it is, especially in the Midwest, I think the respiratory topic would be an amazing start if it hasn't already been done. We're seeing a lot of flu-like illnesses, and kids are still testing negative for everything. Extra knowledge and insight would be so great right now.
Looking forward to learning from you all!!
Warm Regards,
Caitlyn
