My hospital did a major renovation about 12 years ago. I am now working on a unit that is twice as large as my previous unit with all private rooms. Prior to that, I worked on a 24 bed unit with semi-private rooms and only one shower for the whole unit. There was only one TV per room, so we spent a good deal of the evening smoothing out the fights that would break out when one patient wanted to sleep with the TV on and the other did not. I had constant bruises on my hips from trying to navigate the tiny rooms and bumping into furniture. Even though my bruises have healed, I actually miss working on a small unit. All the staff were in the station together. We really got to know each other on a deeply personal level. We had a real synergy during emergencies that just isn't there anymore. Now, I sometimes don't even know someone was working the same shift as me until I'm clocking out.
