Thanks! These are my concerns as well! It's very difficult to try to present something positive when I'm not really on board with it myself! But, as I said, I really don't have too much of a choice so I hope to present it with a focus on increasing patient/family involvement / satisfaction. When I initially talked about bedside shift report, a year ago, I was presently surprised with the number of positive responses I got from my staff. Hopefully this positive attitude remains and "rubs off" on the negative Nellies!! We shall see ?

I am in complete agreement with all of you! I really don't have a choice in the matter. I have been "strongly urged" to begin the process...….last year! I have been dragging my feet because of everything you all have said! I only asked because I'm looking for ways to make this transition as painless as possible. That is the only reason I posted this. Sorry if I offended anyone. I'm between a rock and a hard place.

I'd like my unit to transition to bedside shift reporting. My staff is adamantly against it. I think it will help our pt satisfaction scores! Does anyone have any suggestions/experiences as to what did or did not work? We don't overlap shifts, so I anticipate some issues with OT? HR is working with me on this one. I'll take any ideas I can get! Thanks!
