Dec 8, 200916 yr 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?
Dec 8, 200916 yr Experts 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
Dec 8, 200916 yr We have "big brother" everywhere too....inside, outside, and even one in our breakroom.
Dec 8, 200916 yr 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.
Dec 9, 200916 yr 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.

Dec 11, 200916 yr 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.

Dec 12, 200916 yr 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.
Dec 15, 200916 yr 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.
Dec 15, 200916 yr Yes, these are everywhere at our hospital! After 8pm at night, no visitor can get on our unit unless the security calls up to ask permission from the RN for the patient to receive a visitor (which they strongly discourage after visiting hours), then they have to be buzzed into our unit, but must be seen on camera and asked again for their name and who they are visiting.Yes, we too have been threatened by management that we are 'being watched', but only after their was a chronic narcotic discrepency.....and eventually that RN was BUSTED!!! I say, hooray for the cameras! Just smile and wave!
