Mothering?

I have done the method of throwing something away if it is out, it only took one maybe two times before they got the picture. I have even had a couple of people leave keys on the counter and I snagged them. It was a couple of hours before they had the guts to come to me to say they lost them, but they remembered. I still found the best was to get the staff involved. I would periodically come at change of shift and have the charge nurses from both days and nights make rounds with me and fix what needed fixed. Soon the nurses got tired of doing it and put a little more pressure on eachother to keep things where they belonged.
