Recently had a hysterectomy. The OR staff and nurses were AMAZING!!! However in recovery and my overnight stay, was a NIGHTMARE! Whomever the "Charge Nurse" was that night, was SOOOOOOOOOO RUDE, I couldn't even believe it! I was having trouble sleeping, throwing up, etc, My chart had on it that I suffer from "general anxiety disorder" So later that night, while I called for the nurse who was "attending" to me that night to let her know I had vomitted, the "charge nurse" proceeded to come in and lectured me for about 20 minutes on me having an anxiety disorder and that was causing me to vomit (no it was the morphine) and as anxiety causung my blood pressure to soar. So she decided to take my bp for herself, took her 15 minutes to even figure out how to work the machine! I've never been treated so awfully by a NURSE in my entire life! Found out later, she had been very rude to my husband earlier, when I was still groggy, coming out of surgery. He couldn't even get out a question to another nurse, because she jumped in and jumped down his throat! !! Until she found out it was my husband because he raised his voice (which he never does!) saying "she is my WIFE!". She sure changed her tune after that. Then found out, she was rude to my father, down in the cafeteria (she didn't know he was my father, until later on, then her attitude changed!) She ALSO made the mistake of giving me a medication I was allergic to! I don't know her name, never cared to learn, but if you see a woman "nurse" on the 2nd floor, with cat eye shaped glasses, RUN! I honestly don't know how she has a job there!
