I'm not sure if they are severely understaffed or if they just don't care when it comes to nursing.. My wife was there for 2 weeks and here are my observations: 40 to 60 minutes to answer a call bell. I ended up having to get her out of bed and to the toilet myself when I was there visiting. She was on the PCU and I would have to disconnect the cardiac monitor to get her to the toilet. Not a single response to the extended alarms going off. If she would have been in real cardiac trouble, I doubt the response would have been in time to help. When I wasn't there, the nurses pulled the bed soaker pad up between her legs like a diaper and just let her lay in it. I found her in this state on multiple occasions. Two weeks there and they did not bathe my wife once. She ended up getting a UTI 10 days after admission. See my earlier complaint about them letter her lay there soaking in her own urine. I'm really at a loss to even try to continue explaining how bad it was when it comes to the nurses. I know that they can't all be that bad, but they didn't do anything in 2 weeks to show me differently. The lone bright spot was the Doctors were competent and professional.
