They have badge attachments now that beep and tell your supervisor if they don't sense a nurse washing their hands or using hand sanitizer when they enter a room. I get the idea for how this could lower infection rates in hospitals but I wonder if maybe it's not just more humane to just hire more nurses and encourage us to take time to do things correctly instead of essentially fitting us with a shock collar that does everything but the actual shock.

They're doing shit like this and people still ask why they have to put up nets to catch people jumping off the parking garage like it's some kind of mystery.

They also have little wand sensors that you have to go into a room and put up to a receiver for psychiatry to ensure we're actually physically going into all patient rooms every fifteen minutes 24/7 even while they're sleeping to make sure they're not hanging themselves in there. Honestly sometimes it feels like we're just making sure they want to hang themselves by the time they leave.
