Just as well really

Don't know what these nursing schools teach nowadays, but what once were called "nursing arts" seem to be long gone. Bed making, bathing, etc... all quite forgotten.

As for fitted sheets, believe some of that push may have been in aid of reducing laundry costs. Fitted sheets are just tumble dried and folded; they rarely can be put through mangles.

I have siblings in CNA programs and nursing school. Bed making and bathing are not just taught but are covered by comprehensive examination like all the other material. In fact, due to covid 19, one sibling’s bed making examination was performed over video conferencing with their examiners just a few weeks ago. Not sure where this “quite forgotten” comment originated.

Perhaps we need a separate thread for the discussion of the pros and cons of hospital corners?

 

Then you all could post step by step instructions with photos (hopefully right side up) of the process.

 

Maybe even a video or ten.

Hospital corners demo

Good idea suds Master.
I use fitted sheets but a demo of "proper" bottom sheets could be fun.

I will say that the brand new nurses who have started working with me now certainly don't do things the way we were taught 20+ years ago.  Things normally done now would have been considered unprofessional back then!
