If nurses have to wear the signs then every single healthcare worker should as well. From the nurse, CNA, MD, respiratory therapist ect... Let's take it up anotch anybody who enters hospital doors should wash their hands which would include administrators as well.
That is a very absurd idea and I would not wear the button. I would suddenly have amnesia when it would come to wearing it.. What? Where? What button? Oh! That button. I can't find it. I left it home. Oh! the pin itches.All of the answers with a dumbfounded smirk on my face. I'd have soo many excuses they'd think I was senile.

Timothy you rock!!! I especially liked the "ask me if we're short staffed this shift" idea. That has to be at least as dangerous to patients as our hands.

If I had to wear that pin I would give my 2 week notice that day...while I fulfill my two week notice, I'd wear a pin just beneath it saying "ask me how much longer I'll be employed here".

I would, however, gladly wear a pin saying "Ask your Doctor if he washed his hands".

"Ask me when's the last time I saw a housekeeper clean your room."

"Ask the CNA how many patients she just used that BP cuff or O2 sat monitor on."

"Ask us what the rates of community-acquired MRSA are and who's catching it."

How about:
"Ask me what dumba** administrator made me wear this button."

This gives me ideas...............I'm so frustrated with my administration right now I could just scream. But I'd rather beat someone to death with my keyboard.



How about:

" Ask me if my boss has a clue"
