staff-ALL staff -- to be able to read and write in legible cursive after an LPN nurse intern exchanged an oxygen tank with a very clear and legible "malfunctioning do not use" during a resuscitation code, but that was among multiple other incidents that had medical staff demanding change. NOW all staff, from the hospital janitorial services to the most senior physician specialist, must write a paragraph IN FRONT of the hiring supervisor in cursive and YES, the judge in this ultimate EEOC lawsuit DID find for the hospital policy. Yes, computers are everywhere, but there are many instances where hand-written messages or notes in records simply MUST be read and interpreted correctly.
