Re: Hourly Rounding
Ya know, I used to receive recognition cards from patients somewhat frequently. Never once has one said that it was because I told them I have the time and/or rounded on them every hour! (well that'd be b/c I've never scripted...and never will).
One of the best ones I got mentioned how I took the time to educate her about her dx, meds, tx, etc. and that she really felt cared about. Guess that's not good enough.
The only time I think something like this should be enforced might be something like where the lazy nurses have to ask the hard-working nurses if they need any help with anything b/c they have the time
