1. Ask permission to enter the room; wait for answer
2. Introduce yourself, show your ID badge
3. Shake hands whenever feasible
4. Sit down, smile if appropriate
5. Explain your role in the health care team
6. Ask patients how they feel about being in the hospital

mmm...definitely good points to ponder upon..how many of us actually do these on regular basis, as a second nature?
