IMMEDIATE REQUIRED EDUCATION NEED!

REQUIRED EDUCATION!

In order to maintain patient safety with our continued increased utilization of CRRT, education is needed for all PICU RN's regardless of experience.  All PICU RN's have been assigned the CRRT module in CATTS with a 2 week deadline.  This module takes approx 4 hours to complete and must be done in one sitting.  This is an urgent safety issue!  Amelia fully supports the additional time that it may take you to complete this education.  Thank you for your commitment  to keeping our patients safe!
