The system further includes a receiver for securing the nasal tube and the flexible member externally, adjacent the nose to prevent dislodgement by the patient or otherwise. The receiver includes first and second pivotally connected portions forming a main body. Channels are provided for receiving the nasal tube and flexible member in a snap-fit manner. A method of placing and securing a nasal tube through the nose of a patient includes the steps of inserting a flexible member having a magnet attached thereto into a nare of the nose, inserting a magnetic probe into a second nare of the nose for attracting the first magnet, removing the probe from the nose thereby retrieving the first end of the flexible member through the second nare of the nose, and securing the nasal tube and the flexible member with a receiver.
