[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an RN someone should absolutely be there with him 24/7. Also, if it were you, wouldn’t you want someone with you?[/quote]

I'm the op. I have been hospitalized 3 times as an adult and didn't want or need someone with me 24/7. That's why I asked. I think lots of people don't feel like they need someone with them in the hospital. Again, if I was of the opinion that I would want someone with me, I wouldn't have asked for input. [/quote]

I'm not the pp you are quoting.

I think I would feel the same, OP  (wouldn't want someone with me 24/7.)   I had a complicated birth with my oldest child and after we had been home from the hospital for a day I had to be readmitted for several days.   There's no way the hospital would have allowed to stay with me 24/7 , but even if they  they did there's no way my family could have coordinated that.  I was just grateful my mom and husband were able to trade off caring for my newborn, because the hospital wouldn't allow him to stay with me either.  [/quote]

DP - I’ve also been hospitalized as an adult, a few times, and no, I didn’t want someone with me 24/7.  I get that some people do and that in some instances, it can improve care.  That still doesn’t mean the OP or anyone else should compromise their own health to do so.[/quote]
