Worked last Thursday and what do I walk into? Hundreds (no joke) of yellow stickers with a big smiley face saying "ask me if my hands are clean".
Am I five years old? Do I need to be reminded? I use alcohol in between pts and wash my hands when I arrive on the floor, before I leave the floor, before and after the br and before and after eating. Also wash after taking care of a pt with c diff or MRSA.
It looks tacky. So I went around and ripped them off walls and computers. I'm curious to see if they'll reappear. My coworkers won't tell, they hate the things too but they don't want to be held responsible if found out.
So, for now, we are sticker free! But the next step will probably be a button we wear that says "ask me if my hands are clean".

Maybe corrections nurses will soon be asking their "clients" to fill out similar a survey when the are paroled or their senteces are completed.
Yeah, that would be rich... asking the prisoners if they got their pillows fluffed in the infirmary, or if they got their 8 oz of OJ or smuggled liquor within 1 minute of ringing the bell.
