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.   I attached the form you will need to use.

Thank you for all you do!
