    All areas that are being used for healthcare activities should be cleaned with either disinfectant wipes each morning and in between patients/procedures.

All equipment should be new from the packet and only touched by the person who is using them when they have washed their hands and got sterile gloves on. All equipment is normally opened in a none-touch procedure to prevent any cross infection. Any equipment such as sterile covers, gloves, blades and needles should all be immediately replaced if they come into contact with anything that isn’t sterile. The environment is always kept clean by the same cleaning routine being done between each patient and procedure, mainly clinical disinfectant wipes are used and hands always need to be re-washed and equipment changed for each procedure. Also the prevention of injury risk is very important, sharps bins are always in each environment and need to be used properly to prevent any injuries.…

    Rn vs Cna

Healthcare jobs are expected to grow faster than any other industry-roughly 22%, or 3.2 million new jobs, by 2018 (Healthcare Occupaions). As the medical field advances, career opportunities in healthcare become increasingly diverse. The top two most in demand jobs are a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) and a Registered Nurse (RN) (Perry). Although both of these jobs are similar in which they both serve the needs and care of patients they are distinctly different in education, job responsibilities, salary, and career opportunities.…

    Education: Nursing and Clinical Nurse Leader

    The VA hospitals have implemented the role of a CNL and have noticed an increase of hours by the bedside nurse per pratient, a reduction in sitter hours for dementia patients, an increase in providing medication and discharge teaching and a reduction in ventilator associated pneumonia.
