I ask myself, WHY make an announcement overhead? The rules of 3's: 3 minutes without oxygen, three days without food, three weeks without water. If they call Code J, they cant call Code Blue at the same time.
I mean, what does it do anyway? Either you're gonna pass inspection or fail it, but I don't think you could fix everything if JCAHO is headed to your unit in 2 minutes.
I was charge in the ER on night shift, crazy & busy as always. They were coming through, and an aide sidled up to me and whispered to be careful, that man over there with the clipboard is watching! I just said out loud, " I do a good job all the time, I don't have to worry about him and I don't have time to".
