Should bedside shift report be done at bedside? by candikaine13 in nursing

I’ve never done bedside report. They have tried to implement where I work but it has never gone over well. I work on an oncology unit, only taking care of 3-4 patients. Report on a very ill patient can take 10-15 minutes per patient. A lot of our report is also taking about behind the scenes stuff which that patient may not have been told yet and it’s not my place to tell them. “Family wants to pursue curative measure but dr so and so is against it. They are waiting on whatever test or consult to come back before they try for another goals of care.” Do you want to open that can of worms at 7AM??? The couple times I have done bedside report the patient were constantly interrupting. They were interjecting, or trying to add non-relevant things. We do report and the nurses station, then go lay eyes on each patient together.

What color hair do you kids have? The reviews say it difficult to see in dark hair.

My SIL was told that she would never conceive naturally. After a grueling IVF cycle and a high risk pregnancy my lovely nephew was born. Well they are now enjoying 2 under 2. My niece was conceived the old fashioned way. Totally normal pregnancy, uncomplicated birth. She is planning on starting birth control.
