Grinnell Regional Hospital
I have never had a better experience anywhere. Every single person I dealt with throughout my surgery, 5 days in ICU and 2 more days on the floor was absolutely fantastic. The nurses, the aides, lab people, pulminary people, x-ray techs, transfer techs, dietician, etc. , everyone was fantastic. Very friendly, caring, helpful. I never encountered anyone with less than a positive, caring, friendly attitude. I cannot say enough good things about this hospital
The nurses all work 12 hour shifts. This is good for patient care in the fact that the same 2 people care for you, but bad in the fact that you can tell when they are nearing the end of their shift and getting very tired.
The night shift wasn't as quick to answer my call light, but they were a very very nice group of people.
