I just remembered one, we weren't allowed to make real coffee on the unit. They said we were only allowed to have this awful instant decaf powder stuff with no cream or sugar. When we got to a high enough level that we could leave the unit for 15 min with another patient we would just get coffee from the cafeteria. The nurses let us have that coffee and would even buy it sometimes for patients without off unit privileges if you gave them money.
It doesn't really make sense that we weren't allowed to bring in regular instant coffee packets or have cream or sugar in our coffee in the unit but it was fine if we bought it or had family members bring us coffee from a shop or something...are other units like that?
