Skills
- Pre-and Post-operative care as my unit I currently work on specializes in the general surgical population
- Foley insertion My unit is part of a "foley team" in which we were given tips to help make difficult foley catheter insertions a little easier We are also the resource to go to when urology is not available
- Basic life support as we do quarterly simulations to help us feel confident in code situations when emergencies arise
