New Black Things On The Walls
They did it to us again. A new piece of equipment suddenly appeared and no one told us how to work it. Granted, they are just telephones, but we don't know how to use them. Our shift started with a crisis when we needed to make a phone call and couldn't figure out how. The next crisis occurred when the phone rang and we didn't know how to answer it. Life shouldn't be this hard. We feel like a bunch of helpless idiots running around. It's a cruel thing to do to a bunch of technologically challenged nurses.

That phone does have a few too many buttons for my taste.
Don't you hate it when people "fix things that aren't broken" and make your life even more complicated?
Sometimes I think that my employer has more money than it knows what to do with it and blows it on nonsense. I wish they would ask us what equipment needs replacing, I have a list.
Ok, I'm being serious here when I say that's downright dangerous to install new phones in a HOSPITAL without giving the darn employees proper directions for using them! Hello? Lives are at stake and may depend on a phone call once in a while. Nuts! Is there at least a manual somewhere?
There's one page of instructions taped to the wall next to the phones, but they explain things like how to make a conference call. It doesn't explain the real basics, like how to make a simple call. You're right, it's unsafe to come to work one day and find new phones there without warning and you're frantically trying to read the directions, while the phone is ringing.
