Radiation safety : the student perspective

Radiation exposure has been shown to impact nearly every system in the human body, with serious health effects linked to ionizing radiation. Adherence to safety precautions is inconsistent due to the lack of standardized protocols and clear guidelines from professional and governing agencies. The burden of safety then defaults to department administration and individual healthcare providers. The purpose of this project is to assess a student registered nurse anesthetist's knowledge of radiation safety and identify barriers that may impact adherence to radiation safety practices. The project team will build a department-specific radiation safety protocol based on the best evidence and results of the survey.
