Glasses and Other Things in the Bed

I think all of our nurses have done this at one point or another; it's not a strong suit of mine either. Just a reminder, nothing should be going in the bed that doesn't absolutely have to be there. Things should especially not be left on the top of the bed where they can and do fall off and under the bed where they are difficult to pick back up, especially for me with the recent back issues.

It's important that we don't keep extra things in the bed where Tink will end up laying on them. This includes toys that aren't actively being played with, blankets that aren't in use, socks, medical equipment, and anything else.

As for the glasses, they should either be on her face or in the glasses case where they can be protected, and if at all possible, at end of shift, they should really be on her face. We aren't able to keep watch as closely as an on shift nurse and don't always catch when she wakes up to make sure she's getting maximum use out of them.
