i feel nurses that do not understand english should not be working with patients. i feel that when a patient calls for a nurse, the nurse or tech should be in the room within 3 minutes, not 40 minutes.
operating room staff superior- once I was put up into my room it was downhill from there- just a ugly experience
Overall, it was not a bad experience. I was concerned that because the procedure I went in for was not done due to a complication, the nursing staff did not really pay that much attention to me. I would call for assistance in getting out of bed (I still had the lap incisions) and most of the time my wait was longer than 45 minutes for someone to come, even after numerous calls. The nurses were not pro-active in getting me on my feet after surgery so I had to make sure that I got up and moved. The compression things on my legs were not always put on correctly, therefore did not work as well as they should. My incision sites were never looked at by any of the nurses, even though I expressed pain in one particular area. I have to agree with several other reviewers that it appears that some of the nurses "slipped" through the cracks and were able to get their certification when maybe they shouldn't have.
There were a couple of staff members who I would request again, but for mystay to be in the Critical Care Unit for extra monitoring, well I have to disagree--the staff was not monitoring me, they were simply (and slowly) "responding" to my pleas for help. There was only ONE nurse who actually came in between my asking for help--she checked on me to make sure I was okay...
The staff wHen I has my surgery in 05 I didn't like 2 nurses that I had .one would not response to my pain issues for hours she said that they were short staffed but even still I had to suffer because of this. and the other nurse her attitude was nasty.
I found my experience to be more than what I expected. However I wish someone - anyone would have told me about all the interruptions one gets for vital signs, medications, other nursing visits. I was not able to effectively rest through the night due to all of the activity.
Not good on nausea meds. Generally, Pharmacy was a pain. Plus, short-staffed nurses. Over three days I had 3 great nurses out of 12. Most were average but some were worse. Hard to deal with during a period of such vulnerability.
