Depending on what your facility policy is, I would find some comfortable tennis shoes...but not to flashy. For example, at our hospital you are allowed to wear black, white, or brown shoes. They're lenient on things like having a colorful Nike swoosh or flowing lines like on Asics. Personally I think my Asics are the most comfortable thing ever. My feet haven't hurt ..yet. I have had them for almost six months. I've also heard some staff say how much they like their Danksos, but I haven't had any to be able to give you my opinion. Good luck!

This could go either way. It's based on your judgement, because would you rather your patient sit in it for a hour until you the family is gone, possibly making it look like, to the family, you ignore the patient. Or you could've done what you did and offered to change the patient asap and have the family step out for a moment.

In our hospital, we use the Vocera badges. There are two nurses stations for the most part on all the units. At the first nurses station there is a drawer where the badges are kept for staff working from that nurse's station, the batteries for those badges are kept on the charger on the counter. There are separate batteries for day shift and night shift. It's the same for those who are working from the second nurses station. At the end of the shift, you're supposed to return the badge and battery to their designated spots or pass them off to an oncoming worker. To make sure all the badges are accounted for, our floor manager counts how many we have every few weeks since the cost of those things are ridiculous.
