Leave no trace...

Being on the shop floor day in and day out can be quite demanding and challenging. I am one of those people who the more tired I am the neater I want my surroundings. So, when I have been doing clinical work for a few days in a row or perhaps working night shifts, I may be more tired than I want to be. And then it's the little things that start to annoy me... like things that are left on the side, not being put away where it is supposed to go...

I came across this blog entry from a nurse who works in an ED in Australia, and I thought it was a really great challenge to put to ourselves during a shift.

Have a read, and challenge yourself to "leave no trace...". It's not about challenging other people, it's about challenging ourselves. Quietly concentrating on keeping things clean and neat, leaving no trace behind... leading by example. Perhaps then we will all have a slightly less frustrating time on the shop floor trying to find a clean sharps tray!
