Moore Regional Hospital
Overall the hospital was great. I do think the patient load for nurses is a little much.
I guess no matter what hospital you are in don't expect to get much rest there. Beds are not very comfortable and they must come in one at a time to check vitals. It can't be done at one time.
It was wonderful to be hospitalized at a place where each and every person seemed to truly love their job. I did not see a scowl, or meet a single mean person. Everyone went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. I cannot put into words how impressed I really am with this hospital and the employees. They get 5 stars in my opinion!!!
I was very disappointed in the way my privacy was not respected during my four day stay at Moore Regional. I had to constantly ask that the door to my room be shut and several times had to get up to shut it myself after a staff member left the room (I did not want to ring the bell just for someone to come shut my door). I also could not understand why needed stats could not be done at the same time. The nurse would come in to do something and then just as I got back to sleep, the CNA would come in to take my blood pressure/temp. It seemed as if someone was coming in the room every hour and this made rest difficult! Finally, the last night I requested that no one bother me for anything and I was able to get a few hours of peaceful sleep. I just could not get over how often I was disturbed. I now realize that the hospital is not a place to get any rest. I was really frustated with this!! Also, I will never believe that a surgical nursing floor does not have adhievsive tape remover. I was told they did not have any, but I just find that hard to believe. I think my biggest pain came from the removal of the tape at bandage changing times. My last complaint is, one day during my stay I got out of bed and a great deal of fluids dripped onto the floor from my drainage site. The nurse came in and saw this, but did nothing about it. I finally had to ask for someone to get the mess off the floor and a few hours later someone from housekeeping came to clean up the mess. I will say the lady from housekeeping was very, very nice and very apologetic for someone not cleaning the mess sooner.
