Update
Greetings!
REMINDER – remember to call the transfer center when an ambulance arrives to take a patient to the main ED. This is how they get placed on the Bed Board officially. We have been remiss to do this several times lately.
NEXT WEEK - JOINT COMMISSION MOCK SURVEY - an agency has been hired to come do a mock survey and inform us of what areas need attention before JC decides to show up. This will be next week 1/17-1/21/22. I will send out another email in the next day or two with tips…they will want to talk with YOU, not me, so be sure and read it closely !
CPAP – Philips V60 – please familiarize yourself with this device and find where the extra circuits are located. We will get respiratory to do more in-services; until then, I placed a pocket guide on each machine AND respiratory has a cell phone day and night where they can facetime and assist you (Day – 806-674-9911, Night – 570-2037). These numbers are on the Philips at the top as well.
It is an expectation that all will follow NW policy and wear masks at all times – we had 12 call-ins last week and already have 3 as of Monday. This may not stop the issue or spread of illness and call-ins but we have to ensure that a lack of following policy is not a factor in this contagion. Thank you to all who are picking up extra shifts or working a few hours here and there, it is the only way we are surviving.
***WE HAVE NUMEROUS SHIFTS AVAILABLE THIS WEEK AND THE ESP IS STILL IN EFFECT, CALL ME OR MELISSA IF YOU CAN DO ANY HOURS! THANKS***
This week is sign up week for schedule period 2/13/22 – 3/12/22 ! Also, we have many new people so I wanted to repost the “Soft Holidays” file – please turn this in ASAP, thanks
I have several attendance notices to give out, I wanted to make sure everyone was aware that you can get an absence removed or forgiven. See email for the attached the form you will need to use.
Thank you for all you do!
Andrea
