Finally got it passed!

Nov 17, 200817 yr

So for 4 months now I've had a monkey on my back about our hospitals Blood Consent form. On the form is states that you can contract AIDS from a blood transfusion. This really burns my biscuits as this is a falsehood on an informed consent. You cannon contract AIDS from a blood transfusion, any nurse should know this, yet somehow no one had ever said anything about it being on there.

Well after several meetings with administrators, I finally got the forms changed to state that you can contract HIV from a blood transfusion. I mean it's 2008 and misleading stuff like this is still showing up in the hospital. Not only does it add to the misconception about HIV/AIDS it also gives the patient false information on an informed consent.

So whoo! Goes to show what you can change if you try...now I gotta work on getting our nurse patient ratio away from 8 &9 / rn.........
