Hello! My name is Courtney Harris, RN, and I am the new President-Elect for the ANNA Acadiana Chapter 2012-2013. I am very excited about learning my role, providing education to attendees, and gaining new knowledge to better provide for my patients and families. Just getting back from the VLW and National Conference in Orlando, FL, I have made new contacts and learned about advances and upcoming changes in nephrology nursing. I am thrilled about my first year as an officer in my local chapter, and look forward to this new year and learning my new role!

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to take a moment touch base with all our local members. The 2012-2013 officers have just come back from the VLW and will be meeting this week to get our year rolling.

Please contact one of us with any education topics you would like to see presented, with any interest you have in helping with events and any fundraising ideas.

In reply to blood in the arterial needles post treatment:
Most facililties policy and procedure in my area calls for a disconnect from the arterial needle to rinseback. At this point, the arterial needle is flushed with 5-10ml syringe full of normal saline to clear the blood from the arterial needle.
