I know this is incredible silly to ask: Is there a way for me to purchase the same kinds of sheets they use in hospitals and nursing homes? I know I can get an incontinence pad from anywhere, but getting the sheets (including bath blanket) would allow me to have an exact visual picture of what to typical expect (although that changes from place to place).

Any suggestions?

(Should I just settle for looking at videos on YouTube instead?)

Maybe you can ask the supplies personnel in the hospital/nursing home where you worked or check the brand..just curious, why do you want to purchase them anyway??

Keeping with the theme of silly questions, Why do you need to possess hospital sheets, blankets and pads to learn bed making? Any linen will do because the same skills will be used. Are you already a CNA or planning to become one? If not, you will be taught in the institution using hospital linens.

Nursing care does not focus so much on bed making as it does with direct pt. care.....and sheets are sheets.
Shift your focus.
