What is your unit like - Private, Semi-private, or Multi-bed rooms?

Just curious and bored - What is your units' rooms set up? Are there mostly private or semi-private rooms or do you have multi-bed rooms?

We have mostly semi-private (2 beds) and some three beds rooms - It call be hectic and a tight squeeze in those 3 bed rooms.

Our 4 beds to a room goes like this: the room is larger than the typical room. We have 2 beds (head first) against the west wall, and 2 beds against the easyt wall. All of the patients can directly look at one another if our old, run-down, 70s curtains aren't pulled shut. Sometimes they break though. :/

I work in an inner city hospital that serves as is in the "ghetto". It's not uncommon to see a cockroach (lots of these actually) or mouse running down the hallway at night.

That reminds me of the one Cosby Show episode where all the men were in a room like you described and gave birth to hoagie sandwiches!!
