Drinks at the nursing station is most definitely a heated topic. Has anyone found a solution to this issue that both nurses and management are happy with?
At the hospital i'm at, we have kind of a decent sized backroom at the nursing stations; a lot like this picture
For closed drinks; what about putting the drinks in a stackable sealed container like this?
Stackable so they can be kept neatly on the side or corner of the back room and this way the drinking bottles themselves will never come in direct contact with anything "contaminated." If management is worried about the inside of the containers becoming contaminated through communal/repeated use, the solution for that could be using the disinfection wipes before a nurse puts her/his drink in there at the start of their shift.
My aides and I have said to each other, late in particularly difficult shifts, that we SHOULD have drinks at the nursing station. But not the type this post is about...
Wait...is associates a bad thing? I don't understand why?
"Associates" is a patronizing title that corporations give to low-paid workers like cashiers and sales clerks. It is an attempt to make the poor things feel important, while management is really jerking them around. Think Walmart...

Ohhhhh...
Farawyn, I'm offended now. Just didn't know it before.
By that logic, we should all be required to stand at least 3 feet from all surfaces, hands above waist level, at all times. .
We should all learn from the anti-flu-vax poster who was going to provide nursing care from >3 ft, so as not to contract nor spread the flu, AND not wear a mask. Anyone remember her??
