URL: From Statewide.Announcements at oregon.gov Tue May 25 17:01:34 2021 From: Statewide.Announcements at oregon.gov (Statewide Announcements * DAS) Date: Wed, 26 May 2021 00:01:34 +0000 Subject: [Management_service] =?windows-1252?q?Management_Service_Employee?= =?windows-1252?q?s_=96_Calling_on_you_in_a_time_of_need?= Message-ID: Fellow state managers and supervisors, We need your help. Our colleagues at Oregon State Hospital need volunteers to take emergency assignments so we can continue providing care and treatment to some of the most vulnerable people of Oregon. Any extra sets of eyes or hands will help. As you know, the pandemic has been taking its toll on our coworkers, those who have been sick, those caring for sick loved ones, and those who?ve lost childcare due to the pandemic. For many state agencies, this means important work may be put on hold ? but the hospital doesn?t have that option. We have people to take care of 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Oregon Health Authority, which oversees the state hospital, has exhausted all other staffing options, and our circumstances are dire. We have reached the point where we must come together to support our sister agency. Just last week, we had approximately 33% of our Nursing staff out on COVID-related leave. Training People who volunteer for emergency assignments at OSH will have: ? 6 days of new employee orientation ? 9 days training in basic Nursing tasks ? 40 hours of on-unit orientation with a mentor Duties All emergency assignments will be on the OSH Salem Campus. Once trained, those who volunteer for emergency assignments will be able to support Nursing staff on the units. The registered nurse will delegate duties based on the volunteer?s skill set. Duties will include: * Serving patient meals * Escorting patients to a variety of treatment activities * Working with hospital staff to provide activities on the unit Preferred qualifications OSH especially needs people with nursing and direct-care experience, or familiarity with the behavioral health system. The highest need is for people with RN, LPN and CNA licenses, as well as those with care-giving skills. However, anyone who has good people skills is encouraged to volunteer for an emergency assignment. The need is great, and any assistance you can provide will better enable OSH staff to do their most critical work ? patient care. Pay Volunteering to work at the OSH Salem Campus is considered a temporary reassignment. Managers and supervisors who volunteer will continue to be paid at their current salary during their emergency assignment. Sign up To work at the hospital, please contact Deputy Chief Nursing Officer Lindsey Sande at 541-680-8440. Emails/texts are preferred. Work schedules are available each day of the week, although the greatest need remains the weekends. There are several schedule options available: ? 10-hour shifts: - Day Shift: 6 a.m.-4:30 p.m. - Swing Shift: 12:30-11 p.m. - NOC Shift: 10:30 p.m.-8 a.m. ? 8-hour shifts: - Day Shift: 6:30 a.m.-3 p.m. - Swing Shift: 2:30-11 p.m. - NOC Shift: 10:30 p.m.-7:30 a.m. ? Schedule Flexibility: - If you have other times you can be available, please contact Deputy Chief Nursing Officer Lindsey Sande to discuss opportunities to customize a schedule for your individual needs. Please encourage and accommodate OSH emergency assignments Please work with your supervisors to make appropriate arrangements and coverage during your emergency assignment. Supervisors, please encourage your direct report managers to volunteer and work with them to accommodate their time at OSH. To learn more about Oregon State Hospital: ? Please visit our ?About Us? webpage. ? See 360-degree photos with the ?virtual tour? of the Salem Campus. ? Watch some great informational videos that show what daily life is like (pre-pandemic) for patients. All of you have important jobs, especially our managers. However, as we?ve done previously during the pandemic, this is another time when we must set aside our regular duties for the greater good. We serve the people of Oregon because we are passionate about helping people. I?m counting on that passion now to help the hospital and the people it serves.
