KUDOS
To all the staff this past week - especially Aug 28 & 29 - you are all phenomenal!
Courtney C for getting all the amazing, much needed stock for our patients!
Starting Sept 3 - PIPD is considered a "High Risk Unit" for ARO screening. This means every admission will be a "yes" to question #10 on the ARO screening form. Swab will need to be sent for MRSA & VRE. How did we become a High Risk Unit? We have transplant patients and many oncology patients.
Welcome back to our schoolteachers, Karen & Marty, who will be ready to see patients after the long weekend. Please give a warm welcome to our new teacher: Allie, who is joining the team!
CNE Update
NEW Q-card: a list of all the IV solutions for regular IV Carts, the Specialized Unit 2 IV cart, and what fluids pharmacy will make. It is under Q-cards - nursing 🠆 IV Solutions PIPD Carts Aug 2024 (for nurses). A copy is also hanging on each unit's IV cart.
1. Trach supplies: a request has gone in to add adult trach ties, infant/child trach ties, HME mini (the white paper filter one), HME with oxygen tubing (the green HME), & trach antimicrobial dressing. Hopefully it will be added soon - there has been some stock moved from Walmart to be used until SPD begins stocking.
2. 6Fr foley catheters: A request as gone in to add to Mini-Walmart. Hopefully it will be added soon.
Ed Days - Still awaiting an update from scheduling. A sign-up sheet for casuals will be posted once we have more information.
