Cherokee Health Department
outlines holiday safety hints
The holidays are here and busy
shoppers are hustling and bus-
tling to buy their Christmas gifts.
Following are a few safety tips
that will help assure a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The holidays are a special time
of year, but they are also a time
when people are especially vul-
nerable to burglaries, thefts and
other crimes. We can all help as-
sure this holiday season is a safe
and happy one by following a few
safety tips.
To make your Christmas shop-
ping safer:
* Walk and park in well-lighted
areas. Have your keys out before
exiting the store to the parking lot.
* Walk confidently and be aware
of the people around you. On your
way to your car, visually scan the
lot for trouble. As you walk up to
your car, look under and around it
for hiding suspects.
* Remember to look in the back
seat before getting in.
* Once you are in your car, lock
your doors and don't stay there.
Leave!
* While shopping, don't leave
packages on the car seat. Lock
them out of sight in the trunk or
cover them if your car doesn't have
an enclosed trunk.
* Don't leave your children alone
at home, in a car or in any public
place.
* Teach your children to go for
help if they get separated from you
in a shopping mall. Teach them to
go to a cashier or other store em-
ployee and say they are lost.
* When you are out in a public
place, keep your pocketbook
strapped across you and in front.
* Try not to use the teller ma-
chine at night or by yourself. Some-
one may be watching you.
* Don't flash money in stores. It
makes you a bigger target when
you leave that store. Try to use
checks or credit cards when mak-
ing a purchase.
* Don't discuss high-value pur-
chases with friends in shopping
malls when strangers can listen
in.
* Be alert for vehicles following
you home after you've' made a
major purchase. By taking a few
extra seconds to assure your safety,
you can go a long way toward as-
suring a happy holiday season.
Happy holidays from your
friends at the Cherokee'County
Health Department.
ETMC Neuroscience Nurses
Advanced to a Higher Level
ETMC neuroscience nurses care for patients who have had aneurysms or brain tumors;
patients who have had strokes; patients who have had back surgery; patients with a wide
variety of neurological disorders. Some of their patients can look forward to going home
within a few days; some cannot respond or even wake up for many days. But all of their
patients can count on an exceptional level of care and an extraordinary devotion to caring
They receive the most advanced education.
ETMC neuroscience nurses train at some of the most prestigious neurological centers in
the country (including the ETMC Neurological Institute). And they advance their education
in critical care classes, neurological Grand Rounds, and continuing education which incor-
porates the national standards of the American Association of Neuroscience Nursing.
They work in the most advanced setting.
ETMC neuroscience units include a general neurological unit a 10-bed Intermediate
unit, a six-bed neurological ICU and advanced neurological suites. The ETMC
Neurological Intensive Care Unit began receiving patients in 1990, and today it offers
monitoring devices so advanced, they can simultaneously provide vital information
on breathing patterns, pressure inside the head, heart rate, blood pressure, and
oxygen levels, including mixed venous studies that actually show how well tissues are
absorbing oxygen.
But what makes them exceptional is more than their skill at reading and
understanding technologically advanced equipment
It is their uncanny skill at reading and understanding the smallest most subtle signs
in their patients that makes them invaluable members of the neurological team.
ETMC neuroscience nurses are able to accurately interpret and report on very small
changes which provide neurosurgeons and neurologists with critically Important
information on a patient's progress. That can make a big difference in a patient's
treatment - and in his life.
Patients may not remember them. But patients' families will never forget them.
Some of the patients they care for have no recollection of their neuroscience nurses.
They return to ETMC to meet, for the first time, the people who cared for them so
meticulously, and cared for their families so compassionately. At a time when their
future was uncertain and their family was in anguish, ETMC neuroscience nurses were
there to give them a higher level of care, and an unforgettable level of caring.
The ETMC Neurological Institute salutes the neuroscience nurses of ETMC for their
role in advancing care and enhancing life.
