Happy Monday all!
Does anyone have a wet mount, koh and/or ferning procedure they are willing to share? Since we haven't had an L&D that long, because we are a pediatric hospital this is new territory lol. Thank you in advance and you can send it to my email. awilson@nemours.org

Hi Adonica,

I used this reference. It has a sample procedure in it.

Sure, Adonica, can share my misery with you!
Congrats on 'new territory' (...only teasing!...).
Wondering if this is the 1st PPMP stuff you've had to deal with (oh no, do not tell me Peds does pin worms by PPMP/sticky tape/microscope (ICK)).

Peggy, it is our first foray into PPM. We have manage to duck and dodge it for a long time lol, so any pointers or tips anyone has would be appreciated.
