River Oaks Hospital Hospital

The ICU nurses were very attentive but did not assist in making sure that in the night hours that I was awakened to get up and walk, as such my tempature rose and I was not feeling as well as if I had.

the staff could use a training course in professionalizism. and the equipment could be brought up to date.

I have not had surgery here yet, but Dr. J says this hospital is the only one he operates in that my ins. will pay. I need feedback on this hospital for myself.

The staff was wonderful. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The nursing staff was very knowledgeable about the surgery. It was an overall pleasant stay.

overall everyone was quite nice and helpful and friendly. while in icu the beds had a triangle traction to hold on to help when trying to move around in the bed, or to get out of the bed, however there were none in the regular rooms, which made it alot harder to get out of the bed by myself.

The main problem that I had was with the nurses. Nurses can make your stay wonderful or horrible. Some nurses were wonderful. I had one ICU nurse that sets out above the rest because she gave me a sponge bath and was just overall very gentle and considerate. My advice would be to make sure that you stay on top of what you are supposed to eat, drink and which medicines you are supposed to be taking. Make sure you ask questions. What am I taking? What is this for? What time will I have to take this again? Be pushy if you have to because this is your comfort and your life that we are talking about here!

I had one bad experience with 2 nurses who tried to insert a catheter. They were completely unprofessional and STUPID.

The ICU nurses were the best!! They really made the start of my journey great. However when I went into my room, the nurses were horrible. They were not attentive or supportive. They had no compasion or skills.

No one enjoys being in the hospital, and it was especially difficult for me because I ended up having to stay in for 10 days. The nurses were great, for the most part. There was remodelling going on during my stay, so I did end up having to switch rooms several times. It was inconvenient, but not horrible. The only complaint I have about my whole stay is that the nutrition staff and the kitchen did not have their acts together AT ALL when it came to the needs of gastric bypass patients. Almost every food tray I received while I was there had something on it that was inappropriate for a gastric bypass patient. It was a good thing that I has made myself very familiar with what I was supposed to be ingesting at each stage ahead of time. I actually had to explain to the dietician what I could and couldn't have. They never did get it right the whole time I was there. Hopefully things have improved.

The staff was very friendly but when it came time for care they were terrible. I was there for 5 days and literally had to cry just to have a shower or bath, then the only thing I got was a shower chair put in the tub and was told to call the cna if I needed her.
