What would you do if you encountered an unbadged provider doing exams on patients without introduction to you or patient?
allnurses Guide JBudd, MSN 1 Article; 3,836 Posts Specializes in Trauma, Teaching. Has 42 years experience. Nov 1, 2017 Ask him who he is, where is his badge, and what service he is with. Too many crazies out there.I once asked an unbadged man standing at my ER desk asking questions about how it was going, who he was. Turned out it was our CEO. Told him to his face he needed his badge on.
bagladyrn, RN 2,286 Posts Specializes in OB. Nov 1, 2017 I walk up and say "Hello, I'm bagladyrn. I don't believe we've met".Had a few providers become indignant that I don't know them but if they aren't wearing their badge it's their own fault.
