I have been on the transport team since 1993 and transitioned to manager in 1996. As a manager I am the team leader and am responsible for providing the needed care to stabilize the sickest infants who require a higher of level of care requiring transport from a referring hospital to our NICU. Transport consists of communicating with the LL physician and providing an accurate description of infant appearance coupled with vital signs, lab and x-ray review. Depending on the condition of the infant, my skills include the ability to intubate and place umbilical lines and/or chest tubes to stabilize the infant for transport by either ambulance, helicopter or fixed wing. I have been active in training referring staff by participating in an in-situ Simulation for the Corona Regional Nursery Staff, and have worked with the transport Medical Director, Dr. Harding in Simulations at LL with community staff members. I took on the responsibility for maintaining data collected form the comment cards returned from referring hospitals, and created the spread sheet for easy viewing of the data. I have been working with the transport Administrative Charge Nurse in interviewing and educating new hires to transport.

While in this position, I contributed to the NICU website in conjunction with the IT department. I was responsible for Staff Nurse Competency Days, NICU Basic Class and Advance Classes and I worked with the Nursing Residency Program in preparing the nursing residents to acclimate to the NICU bedside. I also worked with the Labor and delivery educator to run required code pink drills.

I maintained RN's evaluations, and was responsible to maintain that staff nurses' licenses and certifications were current and kept employee files for CMS certifications, advocated for nurses in obtaining credentials, advancing in clinical ladder advancement and prepared nursing schedules. Together with other charge nurses and both the Assistant and Nurse Manager I handled parent concerns and unit cohesiveness. I collaborated and kept the Nurse Manager and Assistant Nurse Manager up to date to keep them aware of actual and potential nurse disciplinary problems.

This is a per diem position, doing contact tracing for the Public Health Department. I make phone connections with cases as directed and gather information for data collection, educate the case regarding isolation and quarantine county guidelines and provide information on support as needed.
