Bedside Report

Published

This week, the instutition in which I work will be rolling out bedside report, a change that will largely impact nursing care (I'll decline to comment whether positively or negatively--that's the purpose of this post).

So I ask you all this: bedside report; friend or foe?

Discuss!

I really don't care if you take me seriously or not. I just feel bad that you're so stubborn to change you can't see any good in it...even though you have people that do it every day listing some positives. I just can't believe it's THAT big of a crappy issue.

Did you consider that I have experience with both? It's not about "unwillingness to change" I've done it BEFORE I experienced non-bedside report and I do not like it. Sorry my view doesn't comport with your facilities propaganda.

And sorry I have a different point of view than you? Maybe you could have stated you have done both and contributed to the discussion, instead of insisting you're right and everyone else is wrong. But I'm glad to know my opinion on bedside reporting has that big of an effect on you! :sly:
