Do you have access to databases? EBSCO host and Blackwell Science Journals are often very helpful.

We allow 2 visitors in our ER; but, folks are always sneaking back when the locked doors open. I don't care unless they get in the way of care or are downright obnoxious! You know the ones. They tell you how to do your job! My feeling is that Security should be stationed at the locked door and should be in charge of passes.This would keep visitors to a minimum and would keep nurses from getting harangued for enforcing the visitor policy!!

Press-Ganey gets around, doesn't it?

Our facility have rules but don't enforce them. Sometimes a patient could have up to 5 visitors in the room. So when you go in, you can't get to the patient, they act like you have to maneuver aroung THEM. Asking a crowd of people to leave the room so u can examine the patient tend to be a chore... they act like with all 5 of them in the room they DON"T have to leave the room.
