The Supreme Court Has Spoken.....(Video)

 

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday blocked President Joe Biden's COVID-19 vaccination-or-testing mandate for large businesses - a policy the conservative justices deemed an improper imposition on the lives and health of many Americans - while endorsing a separate federal vaccine requirement for healthcare facilities.

The vote was 5-4 to allow the healthcare worker rule, which requires vaccination for about 10.3 million workers at 76,000 healthcare facilities including hospitals and nursing homes that accept money from the Medicare and Medicaid government health insurance programs for elderly, disabled and low-income Americans.

Of course, being prepared for emergencies is always necessary, so knowing how to deal with pandemics or Code Blue is just some skill among many that you'll need to succeed here. 

Relationships are always meaningful in this line of work, so don't forget to keep up on connections within the different hospital departments!

How to Take Care of People Who Come to the Nursing Station (Video)

Every day, you will have people approaching you at the nursing station. Listed below are something that you should do to assist them.  

• Make eye contact with the person and smile. 
• Ask what brought them to a nursing station, listen carefully while they talk about their concerns or problems, and offer to help if you can. Be mindful of how you are interacting so far - do not interrupt. 
• Escort them to a location if you know that the directions are confusing. You know the hospital's layout better than them, and walking them to another unit or correct department is the right thing to do.  
• If you can assist in getting them a book or phone charger, or a clean blanket or towels. 
• Follow up, if you can, to see if they need anything else.
