Cameras

Published

The nursing home that I have worked in for several years just recently installed cameras at all the entrances, exits and all hallways. Anyone have cameras in their facility?

We have them everywhere here too...then again, I work in a psych facility.

ETA: sorry about that--for some reason I thought this post was listed under the "General Nursing" section. I didn't know it was under the LTC section...I think it's time for me to shut the computer down and head to bed :imbar

We had cameras at one building I ran. Half of them were fake. The other half was supposedly hooked up to video recorders to document everything going on. I called the ACLU and was told it was the owner's option and there was nothing we could do about it. We even had them in the break room. I found the whole thing to be degrading and insulting.

We have them. But wish they would put them on the med carts and in the med room to catch the nurses that steal meds.

We all know cameras are everywhere, but for some reason in LTC they made you feel like a criminal and mgmt was so quick to remind us that they were always watching and waiting for nursing to screw up so they could screw up your life. It was one more insult thrown at LTC nurses. That whole mind-set in LTC was one of the major reasons I left.

We have cameras everywhere, but since the management doesn't have the time to do their own stuff, I can't imagine them having time to watch 24 videos of every camera. It's not something I worry about.

We have cameras are at our entrances. Maybe there are more. We have construction right now, anything is possible where I work. If they are really watching us they should be able to tell that we are working our butts off.
