Visiting Golisano Children's Hospital
Hospital Guide
Daily Routine
Guidelines to keep in mind as you organize your child's day:
-
Vital signs are taken throughout the day and night as ordered
by your physician.
-
Most blood draws are performed between 5: 00 a.m.
and 6:00 a.m., so that results can be back in time for your
physician to plan your care for the day.
-
Patients are encouraged to begin their day at breakfast time.
-
School work can be done anytime during the day. You may
do work in your own room, the recreation room or the school
room.
-
Lunch arrives between 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. daily.
-
Snacks are available throughout the day.
-
All patients need to be in their room by 10:00 p.m. to prepare
for quiet time/sleep.
-
Lights and TVs need to be off by 11:00 p.m.
-
Consideration of your roommate and other patients on the
unit is very important.
- Patients who are here for extended periods are encouraged to
create a schedule. This schedule allows you to help organize
care and activities with your nurse and/or child life specialist.
