Nurse's Station

     Nurse’s station is the main hub of all activities in a hospital or nursing home. All the activities directly or indirectly intersects with the station.

     The station needs to be semi enclosed so there is a sense of privacy and work progresses in a neat and effective manner too. It should be considered a very important space in any care unit and should be considered part of patient care and a functional workspace too.

    It needs to centralized, so the best practice is to place a nurse’s station in the center of the space so it will be a part of flowing work at all time.

   Keeping it centralized have its pros and cons:

·       Pros:  As it being in the center of the space, it can be coinciding with different work routines and all the paper work can be neatly placed in it.

·       Cons: Due to its location it can be very noisy and can be annoying for the patients.
