Unfortunately, I agree with the majority of reviews written. Although in their defense, I must add, a 16 hour or 12 hour mandatory work day would leave anyone very tired. No one can function at their top level under those conditions.
My Dr. Simmons is extremely bright in his field, I felt very fortunate to obtain him for a surgeon.
The CNAs are overworked like crazy and they have to take MANDATORY over time whether they want it or not. One CNA walked off her floor after pulling an 18 hr shift. I don't blame her. She was exhausted, had a family at home, and no one would help her on the floor.
There was always 2 bright spots in my stay there. One nurse named Brandy, the other I believe Joann, Not sure of her name.) The 2nd one worked nights and was superior. Both did everything they could to help me whenever they could.
If the Nurses would help the CNAs out more, it would not put such a work load on the CNAs. Personally, I feel the work load needs to be re-calculated between the Nurses and CNAs. Also,if there were only an 8 hour work day for all Staff, every one would be able to function at full capacity. Why not bring on more Staff so a patient does not have to lie in a wet bed, or lie in their own excrement for over 2 hours because the CNAs just don't have the time to change you or your bed? When a patient can't get out of bed to go to the bathroon, this is traumatifc and very demoralizing. My Dr. wanted me out of bed the day after surgery. It took the Nurses 3 days to finally help me get up. Dr. Simmons asked me why, so I told him. The Nurses kept telling me they did not have time to help me get up.His response was: "They had better find the time!" The next day the Nurses help me get up!
