I believe that there is no need to have visitation. The patients are only in for a short amount of time therefore visitors can wait. It only causes more problems for patients and if visitors are bringing in other drugs it does not help the patient. The chaos is overwhelming for everyone and that is not only frustrating for nurses but other patients in the facility as well.
If parents actually spent that much time with their premature infants in a hospital this would be a huge success but, they don't because of the fact that they have jobs and other kids therefore they need to be at other places besides the hospital. Even though it takes away from the nurses job, if the recovery rate is quicker they could help more infants.
I am a pre-nursing student and trying to figure out what kind of nurse I want to be, I found this article very informative and well written. It was also very helpful! Thank you!
