Choosing the wrong IV fluid can do more harm than good.

IV fluids are not interchangeable. The right fluid depends on the patient’s condition, electrolyte status, and clinical picture.

From DKA to burns, dehydration, head injury, and blood transfusions, knowing which fluid to use can make a life-saving difference.

“The future of nursing will be shaped by voices like yours.

Our profession has always been built by many voices. The new AACN theme is ‘Every Voice. Every Story. Every Table.’ It’s a declaration that every time you speak up, your voice matters. That every experience you carry, your story matters. And every space you enter, you belong there. Not just because you earned it, but because you were always meant to be there. ." – AACN President Tonka Williams

Anyone can drown, no one should.

Drowning prevention starts with YOU:
👀 Supervise children & don’t look away when they're near water
🦺 Use safety equipment like life jackets & make sure they’re in place before going out on a boat
🏊‍♂️ Learn to swim, or if you can’t swim, stay away from the water
🌧️ Check the weather conditions, the depth of the water & the strength of the current before entering the water
🚫 Don’t drink alcohol near water. It dulls your senses & can cause fatal accidents near water

Remember! Drowning is often silent & goes unnoticed.
Watch for the signs when someone is struggling to stay afloat, it’s never too soon to respond.
