Well, this week we had an in-service which let the nurses see some of the new needles and work with them. They were able to practice with them on fake arms to try and get the feeling of how they work. I know a fake arm really is not the perfect way to get the true feeling of using these new needles, but it allowed the nurses to be able to learn how to use the safety feature on them. At first, the older nurses were hesitant and not very happy about the whole issue, but after a while they seemed to calm down and were willing to practice. I spent some time explaining why I was doing this project and how important it was to take every precaution available to us as nurses to protect ourselves from blood borne diseases. I also discussed how how important it is to ALWAYS wear gloves, since a big majority of the older nurses do not. I had no problems with any of the younger nurses because these are the types of needles we learned on, and therefore have no problem using them. After the in-service, everyone was feeling better about using the new needles and most of the nurses said that they think that they can change with no problems. One nurse still has issues, she is the same one who is completely against going to computer charting as well and plans on quiting as soon as computer charting is implemented in the hospital. She is just stuck in her old ways and refuses to budge. I think she will retire soon now that newer changes are coming to this very out of date hospital. I think that it is probably time if she is not willing to change with the times. This hospital cannot stay in the dark ages forever and has to update it's technology if it wants to keep up with today's changes in health care. I think that this change project will go over well and feel that it will be successful.
