NyICU only has to do Foley catheter insertion. ED does Foley catheter insertion but does port-a-cath insertion instead of central line dressing change. This is for travelers going to St. Joseph main campus &/or St. Joseph Westgate campus. NOTE – SIMs lab is pass/fail & nurses have been termed during SIMs Lab for breaking sterile field. Those travelers that understand sterile field typically pass SIMs Lab skills (See separate notes for the specific checklist IF traveler asks for additional details). The hospital expects that every nurse is competent in these areas, especially maintaining sterile field, as these are nursing skills that are performed frequently. NOTE: if a candidate indicates that they are not competent in either of these areas, they are probably not a good fit. In addition to SIMs Lab, they will also go through lifts, restraints, & wound care, but these are just educational based since the equipment & policies can be different facility to facility. *** MUST HAVE IV EXPERIENCE***HIGH ACUITY PATIENTS- Unit: Medical Telemetry (T5)- # beds: 30- Certs: BLS, ACLS.- Ratios: 1:4 ratios- EMR: Cerner- Charge Nurse: Yes, no patient assignment.- Nurse Aides: 2 PCTs- Weekend Requirement: Every other weekend.- Holidays: Work into rotation.- Scrub Color: Navy- Tele: Phillips, RNs must read EKGs- Vents: Bipap, Cpap / patients must be independent.- IV Team: SWAT RN available for difficult IV sticks.- RT 24/7: Yes – Pharmacy 24/7: Yes- Shifts: 7-7 shifts- Floating: Any MedSurg / Tele floor- Floor specific orientation: 2 days on floor.- Common diagnosis / Types of patients: Gyn surgeries, pre liver transplant, ESRD, cellulitis, pneumonia, diabetics, DKA- Additional Notes: 1/3 patient turn over per day.
