Joint Commission is like critical in laws

Nurses General Nursing

We're getting ready for everyone's favorite time of year, a visit from JACHO (yes, I know I messed up the letters in jacho, my brain prioritizing software has given that a very low importance rating)

Why does it so much feel like a visit from out of town in laws? Well, the cleaning from top to bottom, constant email reminders of Mom and Dad's exacting and unreasonable standards for one thing. You definitely don't want to offend these impossible people, they might cut you out of the will!

I was talking to one of our PAs the other day, suggesting that we should just pay JACHO to do nothing. He smiled and replied "Don't we already pay them to do nothing?"

Fortunately, the in laws rarely visit.

Every hospital I've worked at for years said 'no drinks' at nursing station. Last one I worked out manager COUNTED how many times I went into breakroom for water as it was electronic. COUNTED how many times I peed! I am done with hospital nursing...

You are allowed covered drinks at the nurses station. They call it hydration station or something like that. We have to initial and date ours.
