Not yet. There are some questions on Quizlet but they are not reliable. The ANCC site only has a small sample test and references many things to review. Hundreds of pages of information to cover. Other certifications have so many more sample test questions. I'm just going to go ahead and take it and then I'll at least have an idea of what is on it and will have to retest. What an attitude, huh?

Has anyone taken the new certification, National Healthcare Disaster. I'm registered to take the test in July but can't find any study guides on it. Looking for some info from who may have taken or are studying for it.

No one would ever have forced the albumin on the patient. It was in error. The patients family did not know what is was until after the fact. The nurse knew the patient was jw but the albumin didn't click. It comes from pharmacy and not blood bank. I'm finding out it is a common mistake with blood by products and just trying to find a way to keep it from ever happening again. The physician who ordered it felt badly. But you are right, the buck stops with the nurse.

No t for school. I'm a nursing supervisor at our hospital and took the complaint and decided to make it a personal project.

Jehovah Wittness patients usually come with their living will which states what blood products they refuse. We have had some patients get albumin without realizing they are getting a blood product. I'm trying to figure out a way to make sure this doesn't happen. Do any of you have ideas you have in place at your hospital? I'd appreciate any ideas you could share.
