Key lanyards around neck

[rickbren.lds]

I work at a nursing home with an administrator that is certifiable. One of the nurses locked keys in the med room and the administrator had to come in at 0200 to get the master key. As a result, she now requires all nurses to wear the keys along with a pulse ox around our neck. Several nurses have said that this is against safety guidelines. But no one will confront her. Is this a safety issue?? If so she may be getting a visit.

Some of us work in psychiatric facilities, but ALL of us encounter psych patients. It's a fact of life.

Pretty sure I encountered one in the grocery store yesterday!
