Just use the damn call light given in the room!
Nobody has time to be answering the freakin' phone or email every time someone needs something!
"Notifies you of how long it takes the nurse to get there." Sounds like another "hurry and rush everything you're doing so you can get done and to someone else fast so we don't lose good ratings over how fast you can get there. Forget quality of care, it's all about HOW FAST CAN YOU DO IT?!"

My jaw dropped farther and farther as I read more and more.
This is insane.
It's bad enough that some hospitals have a "tracker" on their nurses that shows which room they're in and logs how long it takes to get there/how long it takes to complete care, but this....this is just way too much.

Will they also include, how many patients that your loved ones nurse is assigned to care for? Or any and all, other responsibilities that your loved ones nurse is responsible for? How many discharges, admissions, ? Let me count the ways!
Just another episode and the $0.02 from:

Somewhere in the PACNW
They'll be having us wear shock collars, soon.
This is wrong, but I had this visual image that made me lol. I just imagine a nurse in a room, having difficulties inserting a catheter so it's taking her a little too long and she gets a shock sent through her for being "over the time limit" and the shock jerks her body, but boy she manages to get that catheter in there this time!

Questions:
1. I would assume that for this to work, the nurse in question would a) have to give the pt her cell phone number abd b) carry said cell phone with her.
2.would it work with all cell phones or just iPhones?
3 what happens when nurse goes home?
don't see any nurse agreeing with this!

Aside from the stupidity of the thing, anyone else think the icon for the nurse resembles Marlo Thomas in That Girl?!?
Hey, maybe they'll get THAT nurse, the one pictured on their little phone
