How this hospital is ranked as the best in Colorad...

How this hospital is ranked as the best in Colorado to deliver at in various health reports is beyond me. I have delivered two babies at this hospital. My latest delivery was in July. Both times I had very young and very inexperienced "labor" nurses. All my labor nurse did was monitor my vitals. Not once was I helped or encouraged through a contraction. Not one hand on my back or you can do this by the hospital labor nurse. It was bizarre. My labors were through the night and very challenging. My midwife provider (not hospital staff) however was excellent and did help me through contractions I just was not able to see them as much due to their other patients. I ended up getting an epidural each time because I couldn't cope with the pain. In addition to inexperienced nurses the post partum beds were just AWFUL. They are airbeds and deflate several times through the night. I complained to a nurse and asked for a new bed but was told all the beds were like that. After 3 days in the hospital and as a new mother you can imagine how sleep deprived I was when discharged after a middle of the night delivery plus the beds deflating several times a night in addition to waking up to nurse a newborn. I felt so terrible upon discharge I will be looking to have our next baby elsewhere and not recommending this hospital to deliver at.
