have you tried Merrell shoes? they are great shoes. If you need white they are available in a uniform catalog.

have you tried Merrell shoes? eversince i've discovered them, i have lived on them. they are light weight and also comes in white. the white pairs, you can get it from the Lydia's Uniforms catalog or Tafford but if you can wear black shoes you can get them from Walking Co. or Dillards or probably a Sports store. Or you can also try Nike Shox, i have friends who loves them. i may try them when i wear my Merrell out. hope this will help..

Thank God! JCAHO came and everything went well in my unit. Our surveyor is a nurse and she was really nice. Took her on a quick tour of the unit then, she asked for a chart with a lot of the multidisciplinary team involved, got the chart went into the conference room with everybody concerned including our trauma surgeon. She asked him about the patient (by the way, this surgeon talks a whole lot. you ask him a question and he will give you a lecture) of course, he gave her the history, the management basically covered everything that the surveyor did not have anymore questions, that saved our day. I guess it sometimes pays if you talk a lot.. :::) She reviewed the chart but didn't really ask anymore questions. They said the doctor and the administrator surveyors were very strict. I'm so glad it is all over....

it seems i have been posting a lot of replies on shoes today. anyways, i like birkenstock but not at work, i have not tried dansko. what i have been hooked on, eversince i have tried it is the Merrell shoes. they are available at Walking Co, Nordstrom, and some nursing uniform catalogs...hope you'll find one that will work for you..

Has JCAHO visited your facility recently? Any tips on what they are focused on ... I know they are big on pain management, medication errors . we are going to have ours this week ..Thanks!

Each room has a pad on the wall that you push whenever the patient codes which automatically registers with the switchboard the patient's room number then "Code 44" including the patient's room number is announced overhead. An ICU nurse is always the teamleader until a doctor shows up. We have 5 ICUs in our facility. It has been designated that the ICU on the 2nd floor answers the codes on the 2nd floor to the first while the ICU on the 3rd floor answers for codes on the 3rd floor and up. An ER physician, anesthesia, ICU nurse, respiratory therapist, Nursing Supervisor shows up for the code.
