Toomey syringes

How often do you change the toomey syringes used for tube feedings?
Daily...usually at midnight along with tube feeding sets.

I usually walk into a room and start pitching everything. Nobody dates stuff like that so I always just get brand new for my shift.

Quote from Ginger's MomThat is why the cost of health care is so high, instead why not speak up to change your unit's nursing practice. Next time you don't get a raise think of your wasteful practice.

Quote from MN-NurseYou missed the part where she noted her coworkers don't date the items so she has no idea how long the equipment has been in use. There is a policy that the stuff needs to be dated - they often even give color coded preprinted stickers for that purpose. The nurse you just roto-rootered could have prevented who knows how many infections. Is that "wasteful practice" too?
