You are right. You don’;t get any rest in the hospital, and it isn’t the noise so much as the Nurse coming to check BP, change IV bottles, and ding her’his other duties.
Can’t be helped.
I dunno, I didn’t mind so much the one and only time I was in the hospital when the very cute nurse came in to check on me.
Now when shift change occurred and broomhilda came on duty I was quite upset that I couldnt sleep.
Yep. You are a slab of meat getting treatments. (It is no hotel.) ;-)
Can’t be helped.

Some of it can’t be helped, but from what I have seen, in separate hospitalizations involving my husband, a lot of the noise pollution comes from the loud conversations among inconsiderate personnel — not usually the RNs. Shift changes were the worst time as they shouted their greetings to one another up and down the halls.
