Have lived in Lethbridge most of my life. Numerous visits to this hospital for family, friends and myself. The nursing staff seem to have a holier than thou attitude. They seem to think they are above everyone. From 1 nurse to the next they don't seem to communicate and know what is going on. Most drs are ok here however A Dr we recently had the pleasure of dealing with accused my wife of leaving to do drugs when she was a patient there. She offered up a urine test to prove him wrong. She and to leave to go to school and the nurse also didnt believe her and wanted to call the college she was attending. The Nurses are who give this place a bad name. If they dont wsnt to work with people and help them to get better why are they here?. The prejudice towards minority's is openly apparent. Most not all nurses are very rude and tend to talk down to the patients my wife as well as others we viewed in the same area. If you are not in dire need make the drive to Taber hospital or anywhere else. The nurses here need better training and people skills. They need to drop the attitude. If it was at the end of a long shift I'd get that. But to be that way all the time while working with patients creates a atmosphere no one wants to be in. Very disappointed with the nursing staff. If you do go and a nurse gives you attitude do not stand for it. Make a complaint and do not allow a nurse to be rude or ignorant to you or your family. You do not need the added attitude to with what's already ailing you.
