I have high praise for the nurses. They are stretched between caring for six rooms of patients, but still somehow keep on top of calls for help. I must say, however, that since Cleanliness is next to Godliness...my room was cleaned upon arrival...but not for the next four or five days. I had an accident with my I.V., pulling it out when I tried to sit down on the very low toilet seat and, of course, my blood was everywhere! The nurse on duty cleaned it up as best she could, and my I.V. was restored immediately. If the people responsible for cleaning had done so, they would have cleaned the blood off the outside of the tub base, the toilet base, the base of the I.V. stand and the floor. Being in hospital is depressing enough without having to deal with that and only one bed change in the five days there, Ditto the ridiculous "gowns" that patients must wear. I asked my husband to bring me a pair of p.j.'s and my robe so I could walk each day as advised to do so. He did, but there was difficulty because of the Kovid-19 about getting my things to me. The nurses stepped up and began addressing the problem, solving it within an hour. They are VALUABLE for tending to patients and helping with problems. I was grateful to have them.
