Do Nurses Still Make *Real* Beds?

I do. I learned "hospital bedmaking" in school 6+ years ago, and that's still how I make beds when I'm at work.

no i don't and im not to worried about it.

I learned how to make hospital corners in school, but honestly, as long as the bed looks neat does it matter what angle the pleat is at? What's the evidence-based practice behind the pillow opening facing away from the door?

Yep, still do-even at home.

Been making my bed with hospital corners ever since my nurse mother taught me when I was little. My patients today get them, too, even though they're in isolettes or cribs!

I'd have time to do perfect hospital corners, but I'm too busy taking surveys so we can get Magnet.

Bottom sheets are fitted ones at my facility, so no hospital corners here. I am particular about no wrinkles in the sheets, draws are folded "just so" and I still face the open side of the pillow slip away from the door. Funny, just the other day I was putting a pillow on a bed and I wondered why I still do that!

At home when I change my sheets I do the hospital corners.

When the moon turns blue and I have time to make a bed at work... we have fitted sheets lol

Our bottom sheets are fitted, at least they are meant to be. On the occasion that we have an extra large bed that the fitted sheets will not go on, then yes I will do hospital corners on straight sheets. I never do hospital corners on top sheets or blankets. I have to assess pulses and color too often to bother with that nonsense.

We use cloth draw sheets all the time.
