During Your Stay

Personal Belongings

Personal care items such as contact lenses, eyeglasses, hearing aids, and dentures can be stored in your bedside stand when not in use. To help avoid damage or loss, please do not put them on your bed or food tray. Leave valuables like jewelry or cash at home or give them to a trusted relative or friend to take home. Hutchinson Regional Medical Center is not responsible for replacing personal belongings.

Nursing Shift Change and Bedside Reports

During each nursing shift change the outgoing nurse will introduce the incoming nurse. The team will update the patient and family about the patient’s progress, medicine being given, and any tests scheduled for the day. This is a good time for the patient, family, or patient advocates to ask questions.
