Overworked nurses to use rollerskates
Overworked Italian nurses are to use rollerskates to get around the wards faster.
Doctor Domenico Pozza, head of the hospital at Lecco, northern Italy, came up with the idea to make up for a shortage of nurses.
The Il Nuovo website reports that nurses are apparently happy with the decision.
Dr Pozza said: "It will alleviate the consequences of chronic shortage of nursing staff.
"Wearing roller skates will allow nurses to respond more quickly to the patients' calls."
GESU, MARIA, e GIUSEPPE!! Non lo credo!!!
Roller skates??? Dats gotta be a joke, Paisana!
I can just see an employer telling an Italian RN to put on a pair of roller skates to get her job done........ a few hand gestures & facial expressions & a simple "Ehhhhhhhhhhh..........." would be all thats needed to show him the error of his ways.
Dr Domenico Pozza??
Sounds a little too close to "Domino's Pizza" if you ask me!
The last time I heard this story, it was happening in Japan.
A&W Root Beer stands. If there is anyone else out there from the mid west you will relate real quick. >
Not just the Midwest. I can relate & I'm in NYC! We still have our A&W right where it always was. Before McDonalds was a national symbol, our big night out once a month was for all 5 of us kids to pile into the station wagon with Mom & Dad & go out for dinner....... to the A&W! The trays ALWAYS fell off the window & into the car - root beer everywhere. But I never saw one of those girls miss a step. They were our "entertainment". It was big night out! : )
