What "perks" does your UNIT have for pts??

Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

I came to work at a different hospital a few months ago. The previous hospital that I was at, our OB department was VERY homey. Newer hospital in general, but the rooms were HUGE (all LDRP's) Futons for dad, table with chairs, rocking chairs , nice bed, new hard wood floors, etc.

Now, the hospital that I am working at, is a much older building with VERY septic-like setting. White walls, white floors, older beds, no LDRP's. Only LDR's and then the PP room. We are talking about fixing it up, to make it more of a home-like atmosphere. Small budget though.

What do you have at your hospital that you think the patient's really appreciate? ESPECIALLY in the PP rooms. Sometimes small changes mean a lot!

My hospital is located in a low income area. It is a very good hospital with the best nursing care. We don't have many perks for our patients-but we try. It is hard to keep even the "basics" (wall clock, phone,pictures,blankets,pillows etc.) from walking out the door! When It comes down to it-you don't need the frills, although I agree that they are nice to have available.

Specializes in cardiac, diabetes, OB/GYN.

They have US!!!!:)
