North Shore University Hospital - Manhasset (COE) Hospital
Post surg I spent the night PACU because of my sleep apnea - the care was INCREDIBLE - roughly 2 patients to each nurse. My experience on 2 monti was far different - nurses and aides that had FAR too many people to care for. The care ranged from LOUSY to Pretty Good on 2 Monti. Some of that had to do with your nurse. I asked several times to wash on Friday and finally was helped to on Staurday - Sue Thank You - you are one hell of a nurse!
I had a "bariatric" bed which was really neat - it raised you from lying to fully seated so it was easy to get up - the problem was the staff did NOT KNOW HOW TO USE IT. On my third day I finally had a nurse who knew how to work the bed. The recleiner and wheelchair were obese freindly and so were the gowns.
THE NURSES AND DOCTORS IN RECOVERY ARE THE MOST WONDERFUL ATTENTIVE PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL THE NIGHT STAFF IS SO SMALL YOU COULD WAIT ALL NIGHT FOR HELP AND I USE TO PRAY NOT TO HAVE ANY PAIN AT NIGHT SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO CALL FOR THEM. NOT THAT THEY WERE BAD BUT ONLY ONE NURSE TO A WHOLE FLOOR SHE CAN'T BE IN ALL PLACES AT ONE TIME.
