When someone needs to be put on a ventilator or other breathing apparatus, there’s commonly a tracheostomy involved, or opening of the trachea. Since we’re producing tomorrow’s nurses here at JCCC (and soon enough we’ll be part of the Olathe Medical Center), it’s important to stay up on similar business. That’s why we get books like Tracheostomies: The Complete Guide, edited by Linda L. Morris and M. Sherif Afifi. Guides like this will take what you learn in your class and expand it into even more detail, increasing your expertise. If there’s any specific aspect of nursing you’re into, be sure to hit up our catalog and look for it!
