I met Helen Perry through the Emergency Nurses Association grapevine and the almighty Facebook. Helen is a Nurse Practitioner and veteran of the United States Army as well as an Emergency Nurse sister, and I could not be happier that our paths collided as she is a most inspiring nurse leader and humanitarian. Let me tell you about Helen Perry… After serving five years as a nurse in the military, Helen went to Georgetown University and received her Nurse Practitioner (NP) degree.

The purpose of a triage interview is to gain pertinent information about the patient as quickly and efficiently as possible. It is best to let the person triaging direct the questions. It saves a lot time. It helps when it is actually not painful. In truth, it is acutely painful at times. While I was watching the Wizard of Oz recently, it occurred to me that explaining how the triage interview works can be compared to the tale of how Dorothy comes to be present in Oz.

ER nurses are really good at IV's. Patients who profess to have "bad veins, being a really hard stick" and ask for someone "very experienced with difficult veins" are frequently not all that difficult.if you know where to look. It begs the question, "how do you get good at starting difficult IV's if you don't do it often enough to get good at it?" Often patients who will pick their IV spot have done so repeatedly, so "that one good vein" is no longer a viable option.
