Desk Space Planning — Expert Answer
How do I plan a nurse station or clinical admin desk?
Clinical nurse stations are typically 36–42 in. high counter surfaces in a U or L-shaped configuration, requiring 30–36 in. of clear counter width per staff position and 48 in. minimum behind-counter circulation. Allow 48 in. in front of the counter for patient/visitor interaction. Surfaces should be antimicrobial laminate with no exposed particleboard edges.
