Abduction !!

[magz53]

Did everyone hear of the abduction yesterday in a Florida hospital of a one day old infant ?? I think the babe was recovered quickly. I work in a place that has NO security whatever.....has 3 entrances to the floor, non of the secured. No security personnel in the building at all ( the maintenance men can be summoned !! ) We tell the Moms ......." Don't give your baby to anyone who doesn't have a maternity name badge on " And JCAHO thinks this is sufficient. We hold bogus code Adam drills. I did notice that on MSNBC yesterday after the abduction the question was NOT "How did this baby get off the floor " But " How did these people ( there were 2 ) get ON the floor ?? " We are a tragedy waiting to happen and when it does, I will not be testifying in the hospital's defense !!! And you know it will be THE NURSES FAULT !!!!!!

God this is all so scary! We just got swipe cards on our doors within the unit and we are finding them big PITA. Only been few years since they locked the hospital down at night and we don't electronically monitor baby's. i guess our time will come......
