So me and another nurse took a patient up to the floor the other day, something we don't normally do. Getting off the elevator, the nurses station was as quiet as a library. I yell out to the 5 nurses sitting there in silence, hey, can y'all help us get this guy into the bed? Out of the corner of my eye I see a stop light thing that goes from green to yellow. Like, wtf?
Anyway, in order to increase their patient satisfaction scores, all the nursing floors installed these things called a Yacker Tracker that monitors noise level. So some management hack decided to pay over $100 each for these things to keep the nurses station noise down?
I can just see one of those things in the ER. The siren on it would be going off non-stop.
Talk about a huge management bull crap idea. While up there, the unit secretary was still paging on some room intercom for different nurses to go to such and such room, which seemed much more annoying than a few nurses talking in the nurses station.
Makes a person want to yell fuck you all, grab a couple of beers and slide down an airplane chute!
