Handwashing
Everyone has been told to wash your hands for 20 seconds, but what exactly are you supposed to do for those 20 seconds?

Medication Administration
At last week’s volunteer leadership meeting, training was provided on Medication Administration. Use the following link to provide on-shift training. The presentation is still fairly long, so you may be selective about which sections you train on depending on the skill level of the person you are training.
