Good call to ask to limit visits. Each person that comes in actually increases the risk of a hospital acquired infection.

So, is she still in ICU? Or did she transfer to M8 already...
Cause I know that SICU is busy as shite right now, and it’s a very confined unit.
If anyone gets a decent night sleep in ICU is lucky, when she transfers to the post OP heart unit, I promise it will be much nicer for her..

This puts medical errors as the third leading cause of death in the United States, underscoring the need for patients to protect themselves and their families from harm, and for hospitals to make patient safety a priority."

Heart surgery as in cardiac bypass and on balloon pump, intubated and sedated?
Or
Angiogram and not really sick but they are watching her to observe her cardiac enzymes to see if she could possibly be having a NSTEMI?
Or just stfu and stop bitching. People cant do their jobs and tiptoe around you because you cant sleep. Hospitals are loud places, get over it.

ER, SICU and ICUs are impossible to sleep in I def agree. If shes on the floor, then you have shitty staff and should say something. Bitching about it on the OT is not going to accomplish anything. Good luck OP

Find out who the nurse director is and voice your complaints. They are usually old school, no nonsense types that love to skull frick young nurses. They're like drill instructors for the medical field.

Being in your situation many times in the last 20 years(Dad was a heart patient) I've found if you ask the nurse for pain meds or any other aid that will comfort the patient they will be gone for two hours minimum.

It seems like the bad nurses are just the worst. They think that they have all this power like a DR when they just a fricking nurse, which is basically a glorified secretary to the Drs. I've worked in a hospital and seen plenty of these sorry arse nurses who don't give a frick about the patients and are just there to chat and socialize with the rest of their hoodrat nurses. Granted that there are some really good nurses there but when you see them 350 lbs and can barely move around, you really think that fatass is going to do much to help a patient? Hell no.
Plus I've seen them bring out snacks for patients, but guess what the snacks are? Just fricking sugar; cookies, bananas, honey buns, etc. It makes perfect sense right? Lets give these sick people some snacks which is mostly sugar. Also I bet those nurses picked out the snacks and I guarantee you when they make them fresh cookies, them nurses get their fill of them, before giving just 1 to the patients. I had one patient begging me and the coworker to please please get him one more cookie. It was fricking sad.

As someone who has had six major surgeries in the last three years I've asked myself this question many times. Why do you need to take my labs at 3am?

Nurses are all crazy in the sack though. More of them on dating sites than any other profession.

You can rest when you die.

So the results will be ready at 630 when the doctors start making their rounds.

So the Medicaid case mix at this hospital is extremely high, correct?

Couldn't they just take them earlier though, like at 9 or 10pm?

Ahhhhh case mix. Worked at Conway In Monroe a few years ago. The director of dept wanted some advice on his dept statistics. I looked at them for about 3 min and told him the hospital calculated their case mix incorrectly OR they had terrible case-mix workers (can't think of what they are called). The case mix was way beyond terrible. Turns out no one in entire hospital knew anything about the situation, or just didnt care. They looked into it 6 months later and found the had terrible workers, non-compliant docs, and they didn't know how to input the data correctly.
