re: Why do hospitals make it so hard to rest after surgery?

You know these people are doing their job and are just talking to their co workers. If you want to blame anyone, blame who designed the hospital. And it's not about rest it's about monitor for post-op complications. And if you want to get her rest take her home hire some private duty nurses.

Nope. It was on. The idiot nurses acknowledged it was malfunctioning but had no idea how to fix.

Staying the night after having a baby is one of the worst experiences ever. The nurses all seem to purposely burst in anytime the baby just falls asleep. They are all loud in the nurses stations.

Nurses are there to save your arse not kiss it

I was in the hospital last week in Gonzales. I received excellent care there during my three day stay. Had pancreatis.

I feel your pain...my wife has been in the Hospital 7 times since last Sept., the longest stay was 19 days and I've stayed with her every night. We have had some of the best nurses that you can imagine but of course there are some who shouldn't be in that profession. The firemen and EMS people are some of the best when you are forced to call 911....I would imagine they could tell you some horror stories!

On one of our "stays", my wife was struggling to breath with the oxygen mask on..three nurses were trying to figure what the problem was. A Doctor walks in and says if you plug the oxygen tube into the wall where is says "oxygen", it probably will work better!

Everyone knows...you don't rest in a hospital. You get your arse out of there as soon as you can!

staff wants to make sure the patient stays alive during their stay.

I was in the ICU at Lakeview for three weeks after my accident, and they were great, I'll never be able to say enough good about that dept. They were good about keeping things as normal as possible for me, and that was with being required to come in and drain CSF fluid out of my back 3 times a night.

Watched a nurse route the IV tubing BACKWARDS through an IV pump (never mind all the red arrows) and turn it on at which point it started pulling blood out of the patient and into the IV bag. Chick was half a notch above a functional imbecile.

I don’t get it. My 68yr old mother had heart surgery 12 hours ago. It’s after 11pm and the 20-something yr old night nurses are cackling like witches at the nurses station, some lady wanted to empty the trash twice in the last hour, another lady opened the door like Kramer from Sienfeld, and I swear to God, just to see if he board had dry erase markers. And last but not least, they have slammed the closet door with the sheets in the hallway at least 10 times. I walked up to the group and asked politely to remember that it’s almost midnight to most of the patients and all of them need their rest. They just looked at me. My mom has been in and out of hospitals for about 5 years now and it’s like this at every one of them. You get decent nurses from time to time but for the most part this industry has some shitty people that are responsible for the aftercare of major surgeries. /rsnt
You'd think you'd be a little more happy and thankful to the staff that just saved your mother's life and allowed her a chance to live, but hey, go ahead and think about the negatives rather than counting your blessings.

Had a nurse in Thibodaux try to wrap a tourniquet around a patients neck prior to the MD inserting an EJ. Her license was reviewed to make sure it was legit.
There are some bad ones out there, I wont lie, but there are good ones that def have saved a physicians arse once or twice.

Actually, her cardiologist and his/her team saved her life. The floor nurses are there to make sure she’s comfortable and healing properly.
I’ve been at Children’s with my 3-1/2 month old since Monday. He had surgery Tuesday morning. The surgeon was excellent. However, the 3rd floor nurses have to be the B team. This is our 2nd round here. He spent the first 2 weeks of his life in the NICU. That staff was what all nursing staffs should aspire to be.
