Good News! What everyone said - plus - on the pump - I was able to get one, which is becoming standard with the agency I used - that is pre-programmed with rates -its small, runs on batteries, and is just worn in pack over your sholder... that way no poles, etc....you dont even notice you have it on (escept of course the IV in your arm) and can move around with no problems (I'm notorious for tripping over IV poles - this is prior to PN!) If they do calll to ask you - ask if you get that type!

Also, having constant IV's makes veins more difficult to wrangle..... if they are, try a heated pad on Alans arm first to make the veins "pop" - one of my nurses taught me this trick and I used it from that point out - really helped....

Good luck!
