This isn't going over so well at my work. Most nurses refuse to do it. But, we work in a crammed ER. Usually at 7pm on my shift I am giving report to the nightshift nurse the rooms are all full as well as all of the hallways. So, giving a bedside report isn't very practical considering all the people around. I agree with the majority and think it's far better for the patient's privacy to stick to report at the nursing station. Now, I don't think it's a big deal to round and introduce the new shift though. That would be a nice compromise.
