Required training for COVID - Sign-Up

Required training for COVID - Sign-Up

There are 3 things that we will ask all of you to do in preparation for COVID, since any of you might be pulled to the unit during this time frame.

1.       Donning and Doffing – most self-contamination happens during doffing, and you need to have this straight for your own safety.

2.       Prone Education – Dr. Pesa has firsthand knowledge of this being quite a pain and a bit different from flipping on a Jackson table.  You may be pulled into a room to help nursing with this.  You’re the doctor, you have to know all the steps.

3.       Fit Testing – this is mostly done.  If you do not know your size, please contact Lauren.  I don’t need to explain why this is important.

Please review the attached prep material.

Training with be provided on Thursday and Friday on the first two items.

Sign-up Here

Prone Training – held in CTICU Bed 20

Donning/Doffing – held in Bolwell 2400 Classroom

Blood Drive

Blood Drive

Hey guys!!

We have the sign up link for the UH blood drive on Thursday, March 26th from noon-6p. We tried to organize so the blood donated would stay at UH, but the way it works, it gets tested and then goes out to where it is needed based on many different factors. That being said, the whole country is in need so we still wanted to give people the opportunity to donate! 

They are giving us first dibs on sign up so if you'd like to donate, please sign up for a time slot ASAP and let me know the exact time you signed up for and what you are on that day (OR, call, vacay, ICU ect). 

If you are in the OR, we will figure out relief for you (or you can try to sign up for a later slot).

If you are on vacation/precall/postcall, you can sign up for whenever you would like to go. 

If you are on an off OR rotation, we will figure that out as well. 

If you do not want to/can't donate for ANY reason, that is not a problem at all! There is no obligation whatsoever. If this is the case though, and you are available/would still like to help in other ways, we will likely need people to give breaks to facilitate, so let me know that as well! 

As Max suggested, I will definitely make treats for everyone regardless of if you donate or not (we are all helping each other constantly and could use a little pick me up =] ).

Please let me know if you have any questions and again, try to sign up as soon as possible as this will be opened up to all of UH very soon. Link below, make sure you select the UH Rainbow Area option--

Thanks!

Nicole
