## Resource

Rhinoscopy is a procedure with a lot going on, and that's why I think our role in it is underrated. When I worked in GP, my role assisting with scopes was basically set up, cleaning, and anaesthesia. That was it. And we didn't have the luxury of multiple nurses, so often I was juggling trying to monitor my patient AND helping the vet with holding the head, biopsy collection, scope troubleshooting and whatever else they may need. We had a rhinoscope, but it was rarely used. Most of the time, we'd just look at the back of the nose with our bronchoscope, or fish out a grass blade with a spay hook - and that was it. I didn't realise how much I could do to support these patients as a vet nurse - and in reality, there are SO many skills we can use while caring for these patients. In episode 123 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we'll look at what those skills are, and just how much our patients benefit from our support throughout their procedure (and beyond). We'll talk about what happens during a rhinoscopy, the equipment used and how it is managed, and the most important considerations when nursing these patients - before, during, and after their procedure. You'll leave the episode ready to assist with these procedures confidently, with new skills to put to use. --- Looking for medical nursing CPD? 📲 Get unlimited CPD inside the Library Club: http://vimn.thrivecart.com/libraryclub/ 📲 Snag a webinar from the on-demand library: https://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/veterinary-education-webinar-library --- More free ways to learn with me: 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today's episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing:…
