Hi, all. I am new to this forum. Is anyone utilizing Unit Based Educators in their facility? If yes, what are the roles and responsibilities of your UBE?

My unit actually has 2 CCU educators. (ours is general critcare, including CVOH). ALl new hires go through a classroom orientation fro EKG, code, pharm, etc, and one educator manages that. (this also includes a more basic class for those hired to work tc and tele units, so she stays pretty busy) The other educator works the floor and facilitates the preceptorships that happen after the classroom stuff. She also manages the CVOH training, and stays very current on evidence-based research and works to implement them in our unit. I don't think our unit could run without them!
