We have to use a flashlight to place a Foley catheter because there is no adequate over-bed light.
For inserting catheters, it would be nice to have a very bright adjustable light fixture attached to the ceiling to be able to move into place.
Whoever came up with the idea that not having direct overhead lighting was a good idea obviously never worked as a nurse!!!
Overhead lighting would improve my ability to successfully perform my duties as an IV nurse, which has a large impact on patient satisfaction!

If lighting is needed, it would be nice to be able to turn it on remotely, because sometimes you are all set up to do a procedure and realized that you need a little more light.
I think bathroom light switch should be outside the room so patients and staff aren’t fumbling for them inside the bathrooms.
For a critical patient, it is challenging to get an appropriate amount of light. The spotlights provide more light but often skew skin tone, create glare, and create a blind spot. It takes a lot of adjusting and readjusting.
Placement of light switches is not always obvious. I have to search around to figure out what switch works which lights, and what will work best for a given situation.

Variance of natural and artificial light is sometimes difficult.
Sometimes the best lighting for staff work ability is the brightest overhead bed light, but it is painful to patient's eyes (when usually brighter light is needed by staff doing care of lower body areas).
Ability to adjust lighting from low (calming, less stimulating) to high (for lab draws, exams, wound care, etc.) would impact our patient care experience greatly in both a therapeutic way for patients, and in helping us with better visibility for staff when needed.
The overbed light is obnoxiously bright; however, necessary at times. It would be nice if there were more dim light options around the room.

The best thing about the lighting is being able to close the bathroom door, with the bathroom light on.
The lighting is often too harsh in the patient rooms if I turn on the lights to complete my exam in the middle of the night.
I use the scanner to shine on the computer so I can see it in the dark without turning on lights.
Flash lights are very necessary for me to do my job. I'm always having to change out the flash light batteries each week.

Sometimes I will turn the harsh room lights off and do my care by the light of extra lights (bathroom light, otoscope, flashlight).
The feature of pulling the top light down (head of bed) is helpful for IV starts at times; however, not adjustable enough if the head of the bed is elevated.
IV starts require optimal lighting, which is not currently available in patient rooms.
Need a light that shines from the foot of the bed for urinary catheterizations.
