"IVs for patients - scope to improve efficiency"

I have Cystic Fibrosis and come into the Royal Hobart Hospital frequently for predominantly IV treatment. First of all would it not be easier to use the Baxter Packs more? They only require changing once a day and lots of nursing time will be spared and patients would have the right Antibiotic levels 24/7. I am always told it is too expensive and they have to come from Melbourne... Why not my hospital in Hobart? Aren't we clever enough to fill a bag here? Never mind this obvious easy answer to IVs. 

Let's have a look at how IVs are done in our Royal Hobart Hospital.  A nurse rushes in and attaches a bag of AB to the pole and types in the numbers. She rushes out. The machine bleeps, I press for a nurse to come as they don't hear the bleeping machine beeps. I mute the machine 12x and get frustrated over the 15 or so minutes it takes for a nurse. Then a nurse comes in (often a different one) and half the time they have to give the machine another 5 minutes to finish the dose (didn't they type in the numbers correctly???), the machine bleeps again, I call a nurse, 15 minutes later one comes in and puts in a flush, till the machine beeps again and I wait for 15 minutes to get disconnected. Or if it is at night and they can leave me on it sometimes the nurse puts the flush on for one hour and has to come back after another bleeping incident half an hour later and put on a bigger bag to last the night. In the morning the process starts again at 5am. I get little sleep as the process can go from 10pm-1130am and 6am-730am.... 

BUT when a competently trained nurse comes in and hangs the AB and the flush in primary and secondary infusion configuration, enters the correct numbers, then no bleeps happen and no nurses are required to attend again. When the nurse comes past again at her leisure before it even bleeps again (as she set the flush for a few hours) she unhooks me. Or occasionally she adds another infusion if I need another one, all without bleeps, all without needing to come back, or me needing to call anyone or to be awake listening to those fricken bleeps..

IF I ask other nurses to do it this way they all claim to know how to do it, but they always have an excuse about another nurse who gave them a wrong type of bag, tell me another nurse told them to just do this, or they just need to do this now and the night nurse will fix it,... and I lie there stewing in annoyance waiting for bleeps again. And I need 3 or 4 infusions a day which with one Baxter pack could be done with minimal nurse hours, or with competent machine use the labour involved in using regular IV bags can be quartered.

Given that IVs are a very common procedure for most inpatients and I see so much time and stress wasted in multiple visits for simple IVs that I believe a retrain of nurses could save them a lot of time and patients a lot of stress. If we could use Baxter packs in a hospital setting that would save millions of nurse hours. And don't tell me we can't make Baxter packs in Tasmania or they are too expensive, we even get our food catered from outside of Hobart!
