Background

More than a million blood products are transfused each year in Ontario with the majority of those blood products being administered by registered nurses (RN’s). Bloody-Easy for Nurses is an electronic learning tool developed by a Transfusion Safety Nurse with input from RN’s, Transfusion Safety Officers and Transfusion Personnel across Ontario. The content reflects current best practices.

National standards (CSA Z902-04) for transfusion require that personnel training procedures include mechanisms to ensure ongoing training of all staff involved in the administration of blood and blood components.

If you are a nurse you may choose to access the two module e-learning program developed specifically for healthcare professionals administering blood products - Bloody Easy for Nurses. These modules will take approximately 90 minutes to complete and can be accessed via the links below:


Module 1 - Blood Basics
Module 2 - Transfusion Basics
