While contemporary nurse call systems are with advanced features and options, perhaps the most common components of a nurse call system are pillow speaker, wall station, bed cable, desk console, and code blue. All these components make an ideal nurse call system that a patient can use to communicate effectively with the hospital staff. When a patient needs any kind of help, he or she just presses the push button on the system and draws the attention of the medical staff. 

 Apart from patients, the visitors can use the nurse call system on the patient’s behalf, as well. There’s nothing wrong to say that things have come a long way from the 1900s when a patient would ring a bell to get the attention of a nurse or other staff member.
