Page 12 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • December 22, 2010 Wyckoff Maria Stefania Paradiso, a third-year nursing student studying with the faculty of Medicine and Surgery of the University of Palermo in Italy, chose to do a research study at Christian Health Care Center in Wyckoff. Paradiso focused on how nurses view and experience the safety culture within the facility. The research study was part of her baccalaureate thesis to meet a requirement for her bachelor of science in nursing degree.

Whelan, RNBC, MA, MSN, clinical education director. “I was also pleased that 57 of our nurses participated in this very worthwhile endeavor.” Paradiso recently shared the results of her study with CHCC, which she translated from Italian to English. Data collected indicated that the level of safety climate within CHCC is excellent, and that nurses within the long-term care division rated relationships among nurses, communication with physicians, and opportunities for education highest among the study’s related variables. The Wyckoff Planning Board has approved plans to renovate Bourbon BBQ on Goffle Road with a single outdoor grill. Michael Feygin said the renovated building would feature attractive landscaping and that it would be upgraded to meet the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The restaurant was closed in February after a fire that started on the kitchen caught onto the roof. The Bergen County Arson Squad confirmed that the fire had been accidental in origin. Feygin said that placing the grill out- Planning board gives green light to Bourbon BBQ doors would eliminate the danger of any such fires in the future. The Wyckoff Planning Board declined to accept the concept of two outdoor smokers at the Goffle Road restaurant, but last week approved the concept of a single outdoor smoker. The owner told planners that he hoped to start construction in January and open in March, the beginning of the busiest season. Bourbon BBQ replaced Clixies, a hot dog restaurant that had occupied the location for decades. J.
