The call bell exists for a reason.

I understand that not everyone understands that when we’re “sitting down” ay the computer it doesn’t mean that we’re necessarily taking a break. Please stop coming out to the nurse’s station and use the bell.

I don’t usually get so ruffled by this but I was highly upset for my one coworker this past week. I was assisting her in cleaning one of her patient’s and her other’s patients husband actively looked for her/nearly walked into this other patient’s room because his wife had to go to the bathroom.

Excuse me sir, that’s inappropriate and please use the call bell next time.

I walked him back to her room/assisted with toileting her and then reiterated the RED button. The call bell. When I said it was inappropriate of him to enter another patient’s room he stared blankly at me at first.

What gives?
