There are several practices nurses can adopt to ensure the security of their PINs:
Create Strong PINs: Use a combination of numbers that are not easily guessable, avoiding common patterns like birthdates or sequential numbers. Change PINs Regularly: Regularly update PINs to reduce the risk of unauthorized access over time. Never Share PINs: Keep PINs confidential and do not share them with colleagues or write them down where they can be easily found. Use Multi-Factor Authentication: Whenever possible, use systems that require an additional form of verification beyond just a PIN. Report Suspicious Activity: If there is any suspicion that a PIN has been compromised, report it immediately to the IT department for appropriate action.
