-do you get to wear your own clothes?

Yes, but no strings. Usually I wear scrubs cos it's comfortable.

Nope, not allowed. I trim before I go in, when possible.

-how long is a usual stay?

Minimum 6 days, maximum two weeks

-how much privacy are you given?

Very little. Depends on if I'm on the intensive or non-intensive floor, but either way 15 min checks.

-do you get to have your phone?

Nope. I appreciate that though as phone causes stress
