Tina, Tom and little baby Henry are now back home in Yeppoon, after a whirlwind few weeks that has seen our teams at The Prince Charles Hospital thoracic and Royal Brisbane and Womens Hospital obstetrics, NICU and NeoResq join forces to save Tinas life.

Tina, who has cystic fibrosis, was 34 weeks pregnant when she collapsed during an antenatal appointment, where it was discovered her lungs had failed. At just 15 per cent lung capacity, Henry had to be delivered early where he was cared for in the NICU at RBWH, while doctors raced against the clock for a solution to save Tina at TPCH.

Her health was so poor that she did not think she would survive - with the NeoResq team making an incredible journey with premature bub Henry to Tina at TPCH so she could have one last cuddle and say goodbye.

But in amazing news, it was not their last cuddle, as a combination of experimental arthritis drugs used effectively for the first time in Australia for this type of illness were able to improve her lung capacity so much that she could leave hospital. Both Mum and bub are now in good health and at home, enjoying the abundance of cuddles made possible through this life-saving treatment. 💕

The department of thoracic medicine at RBWH provides expert care for patients suffering from respiratory and sleep problems across a range of areas.

Clinical nurse Hong is part of the sleep investigation unit, which consists of laboratory and portable (at home) polysomnography, Bilevel and CPAP treatment studies as well as sleep latency and maintenance of wakefulness testing. 😴
 
As a clinical nurse, I am responsible for setting up the four sleep study rooms, sticking leads onto patients, providing CPAP masks and machine education as well as patient support, Hong said. 🛏️

The department is introducing a clinical nurse position which is a more intensive role around patients receiving diagnostic studies. If this sounds like you, then apply here: https://bit.ly/3T2Ylfs #WorkforusWednesday

I want to close the loop and say thanks for preparing me for the NCLEX. Academically, I did well in school, but what Your Review gave me was a smart, concise review of the basics that I needed to know to pass the test the first time. Maybe because I tend to hyper-focus on details, the Reverend Tyson's Review brought me back to basics overviews and made me take a step back and reinforce what I had learned. @everyone When I sat there with the screen in front of me, I was able to noodle out the concepts and passed in 75 questions. t.me/+LfKgkp3gYVQzZDQx +1(504) 345-8576 RN and PN New Generation NCLEX Reviews
