It probably isn't necessary but I could have used one for the night shifts. I was a Stanford Hospital for two nights after an ALIF and both nights I had to wait a long time for pain meds...over an hour the first night when my pump clogged and my call button had fallen on the floor. Next night the nurse went to get my Vicodin and got distracted by a post op admit. Had to wait another hour.
Daytimes, the opposite is true. They never leave you alone.
