ALL PATIENTS WILL BE ASSIGNED A NUMBER,

AND WHEN YOUR NUMBER IS CALLED,

IT WILL BE YOUR TURN TO USE THE PAN.

YOUR NUMBER IS LISTED BELOW.

DO NOT FORGET IT!

LOL i'm hanging that one in the break room on my old floor! We have a sign in the "plastics" closet saying that supplies were limited and only deliveered on certain days. Overheard the charge nurse say "well s*** what are we supposed to do, make the pts. take a number for the one bedpan on this floor??"

[Havin' A Party!]

I'd of thought most facilities would go for this idea.

Cost savings, environmentally conscious, AND a sure eliminator of all the cold bedpan complaints! This is a win-win-win!

What the heck am I missing?
