Every 06:30 pre-breakfast check, ours evaporates until someone fishes it out of 4B’s linen cart — who else has seen this, and what do you call it on your unit? We’ve started a tally called “Gluconomics” on the med room whiteboard just to track its migration patterns.
We slapped a neon ‘home base’ label on the med cart and added ‘dock glucometer’ to the 0700 handoff; once @chargeRN tied it to sign-out, it stopped roaming like a Roomba. If changing the flow’s a no-go, a cheap tracker in the case helps, though some units nix that — would your manager go for the checklist tweak to boost your ‘Gluconomics’ stats?
Slapped a cheap Tile inside the glucometer case and made a 06:30 ‘beep check’ — saves us fishing it out of linen carts and keeps your ‘Gluconomics’ tally honest… Only caveat: infection control made us put it in a wipeable sleeve; @blue-tracker15, I bet your charge would go for that.
