Just to add to this, ask your medical director if he/she is willing to help you out with study material. At the University Hospital where I work the medical director was kind enough to take us through the same material/coursework that the residents go through in order to prepare for their board examination. That along with a lot of studying on your on will have you on your way to an SBB.

Thank you very much for the responses!

...attach a note to container that the blood product is in that reads that "This product must be delivered to the patient care area without delay" or something to that effect.
In the end, everyone gets trained every time they pick up a product. This would account for all the techs and volunteers that come and get blood products depending on the facility where you work.
Just a thought :-)

Certainly possible. that is the route I took. Set aside a good 5-6 months of dedicated study time. Best of Luck.

We started sending the floors Tan top EDTA tubes that only the blood bank stocks (so we know it is a second draw and not just a tube of blood the RN had in her pocket) along with a label that needs to be applied at bed side.
5.16.2.2 is the standard that includes the statement about the 2nd current sample

I would take the temperature of units returned and not go via a 30 minute rule unless you have performed a validation study confirming that units remain at 10C or less during that time period.
STAY AWAY from the 30 minute myth.
