President’s Message
Dear Members:
Our October meeting at
DHMC was well attended and we had fun learning to fox facial
fractures. We have some great programs coming up for 2006, starting
with the meeting at Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital in Lebanon, NH.
on January 14th featuring Dr. Michael Curtis.
Here's hoping all of you have a safe and happy holiday season

PERIOPERATIVE
NURSES:
VITAL
TO CARE
KNOWLEDGE TO SHARE
Perioperative
Nurse Week
November
13-19, 2005
The
week at Alice
Peck Day Memorial Hospital was
celebrated by the staff in a variety of ways. As reported by Phyllis
Barrell, "We
organized a breakfast put on by the OR staff for the hospital; we
all brought in breakfast stuff and set it up in our lounge and
invited the other hospital employees to come and join us. This went
over with a bang, and we got several thank-you notes and cards. We
also did 3 drawings for prizes; one of the surgeons donated a leg of
lamb, another donated 2 bags of Lindt chocolates and our department
ordered 5 AORN lunch bags to raffle off. We also got AORN pens and
buttons for each person in our department. We did a drawing every
day for the AORN lunch bags and Cindy, our manager, purchased
another prize to raffle off. In the thought process of Vital
to Care, Knowledge to Share, we put together some statistics
on the OR and the OR staff; it was neat to see how many years people
have been working in the OR and providing anesthesia, etc. Last, but
certainly not least, we had a young lady who is interested in
perioperative nursing; she is a high school student and daughter of
one of our administrative personnel. She came 2 afternoons during
the week to see what we do."

25 attendees. The hands -on workshop that followed Dr. Stotland's
presentation allowed us to practice plating facial fractures on
mannequin heads. At the end of the session, the heads were awarded
to the following participants: Lorraine
Heslop, Greg Moore, Rebecca Saypack, Vicki Seaver, Mariann Thinis,
Karen McManus,Suzan Louzier, Adele Champoux, Phyllis Barrell and

A
SAFETY TIP:
Paramedics often turn to a victim's cell phone for clues to
the person's identity. You can make their job easier with a simple
idea: ICE
ICE
stands for In
Case of Emergency. If
you add an entry of ICE in the
contacts list of your cell phone in the I section,
with the name and phone number of the person emergency services
should call on your behalf, you can save them a lot of time and have
your loved ones contacted quickly. ICE your
cell phone today!
HAPPY
HOLIDAYS!!
