When housekeeping...

When housekeeping accidentally presses the code blue light and all the nurses go running and there stands a sanitation tech saying sorry in her broken English. I think this has happened about 7 times in my a little over two year long career.

Always makes me laugh. Just had to share

Or blue.

Could you take some red (or blue) duct tape and cover the button? Then it wouldn't be green and would be a bit harder to push.

We actually got sited by the health department for having tape in patient care areas on the walls before. Apparently that's a violation in my state. We had to switch all of our signs over to magnetic boards mounted on the wall.

What they should do is let each employee of the hospital including dietary, housekeeping, lab and xray know you DON'T TOUCH THIS BLUE BUTTON, and if you do it anyway you can kiss your job goodbye.
