Pandemic provides teaching opportunity<\/h2>\n

Lynn Cerasoli\u2019s job as a registered nurse in the emergency department at UCHealth Yampa Valley Medical Center is much like a global pandemic.<\/p>\n

Both are unpredictable. Both can experience change at a moment\u2019s notice. Both keep you on your toes.<\/p>\n

But when the COVID-19 pandemic caused changes to school for her daughter, Izzy, the veteran nurse of 30 years and a group of parents decided they could contribute to their children\u2019s education, too. They became PATT, or Parents Are Teachers, Too.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt had never crossed my mind that I would ever be in a situation where I would be homeschooling my child,\u201d said Cerasoli, \u201clet alone teaching her and other children life-saving skills.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cerasoli is part of a team of nurses with YVMC\u2019s trauma program who provide community outreach and education. They teach CPR, First Aid and, as she did for her daughter\u2019s cohort of fourth and seventh graders, Stop the Bleed.<\/p>\n

\u201cStop the Bleed gives bystanders the knowledge to potentially save a life,\u201d she said. \u201cAs an ER nurse, I know that controlling any bleeding in the field is critical and can be lifesaving. The majority of Steamboat\u2019s population, including our kids, are very sports- and outdoor-oriented and will likely experience or witness a bleeding injury at some point. Having the knowledge to step in and help can make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the session, Cerasoli shared information about blood, how much is in the human body, what potential injuries can look like, and proper technique to apply firm, consistent pressure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we used to send our kids off to school, we left it up to the experts \u2013 the teachers \u2013 to mold and teach our kids,\u201d she said. \u201cNow that I have the opportunity to teach what I know, I love to see these young minds get excited about what excites me, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cerasoli said this particular session of Stop the Bleed was meaningful, as their uneasy reactions to the squirting \u201cblood\u201d was similar to her own feelings of trepidation when she cared for critical patients as a new nurse.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so afraid of patients, especially those who were really sick or near death,\u201d she recalled. \u201cFor every year of experience and knowledge I obtained, I began to gain confidence and skills to overcome those challenges and fears. In this department, we have to quickly recognize, intervene and treat people who are scared \u2013 they trust us to help and offer comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n

She credits the great preceptors, teachers and clinical instructors she\u2019s engaged with over the years, as well as the people she works with every day, for keeping her in emergency medicine.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been so fun through PATT for us as parents to share our life\u2019s passions with our children,\u201d said Cerasoli. \u201cI love taking health care out of the hospital and delivering it in a different way. Regardless of the \u2018teacher\u2019 \u2013 my husband is a firefighter, other parents in the group are entrepreneurs, artists, outdoor enthusiasts \u2013 the kids are inquisitive, share ideas and interact with great questions. It\u2019s a win-win situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n
