The Braseltons

I’m just now learnig this stuff as I have no real hospital experience.
At this hospital, shift changes happen every 12 hours. We get a new nurse at that time. We had learned that the following time after a shift change, you will NOT be attended to. Your machines will alert, water will run out (if the spouse is not in the room), medicine will not come and the patient will be miserable. I recommend that you make sure to hit the call button one half of an hour before the scheduled shift change. Get water filled, get your meds, and have the specimin catcher emptied. Do everything that you need because for the two hours after shift change, you will be ALONE and wanting/needing things.
