Figure they'll have a "master" book with all our mug shots in that they can just take from room to room for pt's to help them identify the "bad nurses"!!

Thanks everyone for all your input! Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks it is a bit strange. I don't know who will be responsible for putting up the right picture in the correct room. Suppose we'll all get a 3 ring binder full of pics of ourselves that we'll be required to bring with nightly and supply each patient with the appropriate image. Admin is being very tight lipped on the whole ordeal (what a shock). So we'll see how it goes! It's not that I am opposed to having my patients and their families know who I am, but I agree that if nurses have to have their picture up then so should every other staff member that has contact with the patients. And how much more clutter can we put on the wall? got the falls sign, the turn sign, the wash your hands sign, the know your rights sign,etc..... And this coming from a facility that didn't want to put sharps containers and glove boxes INSIDE pt rooms because it took away from the hotel like atmosphere they were trying to portray......***!! Pretty sure, well I hope anyway, that my picture isn't hanging up in every hotel room i've ever been in!

Hi, I was recently informed that I had to have my picture taken for a "new project" at our hospital. Nsg admin is gonna take all staff nurses pics and then put them up in the rooms of the patients that nurse is assigned to for the shift. I find that a little bit strange myself. We are a small community hospital (25 beds including ICU and OB) and everyone works 12 hr shifts, so it's not like we r continually changing assignments, staff, etc. Does anyone else have anything like this where they work? we also have the white boards with r name, title, doc, etc in every room.
