Lancaster Community Hospital Hospital

Day time nursing staff did absolutely nothing for me except stop the monitors from beeping. The night time staff was a little better. Had to be IV'd in four different spots due to the inability of staff to properly insert the line. I have been hospitalized twice before this and never had that problem. Almost had an accident several times as room was too small and there was insufficent room for all of the equiptment and cords. Multiple cords in all areas of the room caused a big problem trying to wheel the IV machine to the bathroom.

The NURSES were amazingly attentive and very, very concerned about how much pain you're in. The NURSES truly made the whole experience liveable. THEY WERE EXCELLENT and that's the only thing that truly counts! I wouldn't have hand picked this hospital but since I had no choice- I dealt with it.

The night after surgery there was a nurse that would not let me out of bed. I was hving severe pain in my chest area, I knew it was gas, I KNEW i needed to walk and she kept coming in and pushing my morphine button. Finally I disconnected myself and got out of bed. I WAS MAD! *She no longer works there*

A word to the wise, all follow up blood work done here requires you to be "admitted". So allow extra wait time! Im still trying to figure out the online admitting!

The staff was great. The pre op people made me feel very relaxed and confident. The RN's LVN's CNA's and Student Nurses were all very carring and quick to respond to my needs and checked on me periodically even when I didn't call them.

I was very pleased with the service at Lancaster Community

I found the hospital stay to be much more pleasant than expected. Carrrie, my nurse intern was amazing. The other staff was very helpful and prompt, personable and attentive.
