Safety
Reminder: Handling Sharps
Even
seasoned nurses need a reminder now and again.
As
a healthcare professional, you're aware of the dangers of
mishandling needles. However, it's never a bad idea to review
safe handling procedures:
 Never
recap used needles; this is the biggest cause of injuries
related to sharps.- Leave
used needles attached to the syringe.
- Never
carry an uncapped or used needle/syringe.
- Handle
used sharps carefully and dispose of them in an appropriate
sharps disposal container.
- Assure
that sharps disposal containers are clearly marked and are
large enough to hold your used sharps.
- Never
over-fill sharps disposal containers.
- Assure
that full sharps containers are disposed of in a suitable
manner.
As
with any personal injury received on the job, sharps injuries
(needle sticks) should be:
- Immediately
treated with appropriate first-aid remedies
- Reported to
the worker's supervisor
- Assessed by
a physician to determine if prophylactic medications should
be administered.

January
is National Cervical Cancer Screening Month
Get
screened regularly so you don't fall victim to this deadly
disease.
Did you
know…?
Cervical cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths
among women worldwide. About 10,000 American women will develop
the disease every year, and almost 3,000 will die from it.
Know the
facts.
At least 70% of cervical cancer cases are caused by a common
and easily transmitted virus: human papillomavirus, or HPV.
For most women, the virus will go away on its own. But for
some, it can lead to cervical cancer. Some types of HPV spread
through genital sexual contact. Because many people who become
infected don’t have symptoms, they can unknowingly spread
the virus. In fact, HPV is so common that by age 50 as many
as 8 of 10 sexually active women will be infected with it.
Get
vaccinated.
The Food and Drug Administration announced that it has approved
the first vaccine designed to prevent cancer. The vaccine,
Gardasil, blocks infection by two types of the human papillomavirus,
or HPV. The FDA approved Gardasil for use in girls and women
ages 9 through 26, the age group studied in clinical trials
submitted by vaccine maker Merck. The vaccine is given in
three separate shots, approximately $120 each, over a six-month
period.
Get
screened regularly.
Pap screenings, simple tests conducted in doctors’ offices
or clinics, are one of the most effective ways to prevent
cervical cancer. The tests detect changes in the cells in
and around the cervix. If pre-cancerous cell changes are detected
and treated early, the potentially deadly effects of cervical
cancer can almost always be prevented. According to the American
Cancer Society, women whose HPV-related cervical abnormalities
are detected and treated early - at the pre-cancerous state
- have a nearly 100 percent survival rate. The good news is
that you have the power to reduce your chance of getting cervical
cancer. By getting routine Pap screening tests, you can help
prevent this devastating disease.

Children
of Men (Rated R):
"Children of Men" leaves you mesmerized by its provocative
story of a world askew with violence, police control and environmental
and human disaster. Set in the near future, but applicable
to today's problems of pollution, immigration strife and international
political upheaval, "Children of Men" details the
story of a man's effort to carry the last pregnant woman on
the planet to safe refuge. Intense, controversial, depressing,
and well crafted.
Our Score:  (4 out of 4 Stethoscopes)
Arthur
and the Invisibles (Rated PG):
"Arthur and the Invisibles" is a fantasy film that
mixes live action and animation. Set in 1960s New England,
Arthur (Freddie Highmore) is living with his grandmother (Mia
Farrow). Arthur's imagination is sparked by the diary of his
grandfather. Following Granddad's instructions, he discovers
a magical kingdom in his backyard. Also lending voice talent
are Madonna, Robert De Niro, Snoop Dogg, and David Bowie.
Great for kids.
Our Score: (3 out of 4 Stethoscopes)
Eragon
(Rated PG):
Based on the first book in Christopher Paolini's fantasy trilogy
about a boy and his dragon, "Eragon" is unoriginal
but sincere. The story is about a simple farm boy, Eragon
(Ed Speleers), who becomes the keeper of a dragon egg stolen
from the king. The egg hatches and the bond between boy and
dragon is formed. Now they must save the land from evil.
Our Score:  (2
1/2 out of 4 Stethoscopes)
