The good thing about a new space

Our ER has recently vacated its old space and entered into the 21st century. Gone are the days of ECG machines that do not work, absent thermometers, under staffing. Gone is the Pepto-pink and bile green paint, the sub-zero temperatures, the lack of basic items such as blankets for the patients (and staff).
Now, in our new state of the art facility we have it all! We have color coded areas for ease of identification....accept for the fact that all areas have the same colored walls and drapes, so no one really knows where they are.
Now we have one thermometer for 2 Triage nurses and the Resource nurse to share.
Now we have a paging system that will only page in one area instead of the whole department. But not to worry...I found shouting "I need help" is as good as any paging system.
Now we have items stocked by...well, I don't know how they decided the system. Similar items are not grouped together, which makes for a frustrating search for that elusive piece of equipment, what ever it may be.
Now we have ARJO...the miracle cleaner (I do, however, think it should be renamed Earl). Just pop you dirty bedpans, urinals, and commode buckets into it and viola! 5 minutes later it is fresh as a daisy and ready for use by any other patient. Yup, any other patient can use that bedpan your poopy patient has just used! Yuck!
Now we have heat..well, we had it today anyway, and only after the Honeywell guy had to come in and fix the system as it was 60 degrees in the department and hypothermia was not the indicated treatment plan for any of our patients.
Now we have medications carts whose drawers are stuck open, and whose batteries have died and cannot be accessed. But that's OK. Cause who needs drugs in the Trauma room anyway?
Now we have a broadcast system that can indicate a Code Red...in the rapid ringing Evacuate mode. But don't worry, as our Security team was all over that one by paging "Disregard Evac Mode, Code Red continues". We never did find out where the fire was....but I suspect it had something to do with the Honeywell guy.
Now we can enjoy our days off as our staffing is spot on...except for the 4 OT shifts I worked in the past 2 weeks .
Yup, things are coming along nicely in the 21st century. I love our new home!
