Virtua Memorial Hospital Burlington County Hospital
for the first day after surgery I was in CCU private room, they moved me up to 4NE and I had a private room even though there were 2 beds in the rooms but for weight loss surgery patients they make the rooms private. The staff was great just wish they wouldn't have come in, in the middle of the night to take my blood pressure..they always made sure I had my o2 on because when I would sleep it would go down. Only bad thing was the protein jello it was way to sweet.
I had an amazing experience. I loved the facility and the staff - everyone was accomodating. Pre-op and post-op experiences couldn't have been better. The staff was courteous and professional and never made me feel uncomfortable in any way. I would definitely recommend Virtua Mt Holly hospital. The only issue was that there was very limited parking but if you wanted to wait, they do offer free valet; however, the line for valet parking was very long.
ICU was amazing. It was like the best of the best! Then, A dark doorway opened up and shoved me into the REGULAR hallway with nurses that didn't care about individuals and only cared about paperwork and forget whoever it was that pushed a button! (except CNA JENN, who went out of her way to find some clean sheets for me and assisted me in changing them as well as my wet robe since I had just broken a fierce fever of over 103- thanks to my own assumptions of what the cause was and so for over 24 hrs tried to get someone to hear me and just test me and give me antibiotics- and had drenched my bed in sweat and was very uncomfortable! I walked around the nurses station dozens of times and always found nurses hanging out, joking, talking, yet no one was willing to assist a patient in distress! I literally had to go out and into the hallway several times and to the nurse counter, just to get noticed! The Nurse button or Nurse extension was never answered in a timely manner. I used the extention once to request a tylenol and didnt get it till over an hr later once my fever had spiked from 100-103! Granted there are wonderful doctors tht make their living here at this hospital, but the sad truth is that if you are sick, this hospital is not the best place to be!
