Will new nursing communication devices really cut down on hospital noise?

Posted 12 months ago According to one of today's articles, new communication devices are being purchased by a hospital in Texas in the interest of cutting down on hospital noise. Is it likely that such devices will do so, and if so do you think they will grow in popularity at other hospitals including your own? |

| Posted 9 months ago No--they usually beep and buzz loudly, especially when they are not working properly, which is usually 98% or the time. Use the money to add to nurse staffing and we won't need to yell out for each other when we need help,but there's nobody in sight anywhere. |

| Posted 6 months ago I'm not yet into nursing, but I feel Kay is right on the money where would you possibly have room on your person to carry a radio? How reliable would that be after being treated roughly in extreme situations ,that all nurses come into contact with. I had worked in security, at the Imperial Palace, Hotel and Casinoin Biloxi,MS. The radios we had to carry were constantly being sent out for repairs. The more staffing like kay said sounds to me to be a better problem solver. |
