Pennsylvania Hospital Hospital

It has been my experience that if there is any shortcoming in nursing care it usually has to do with the nighttime nursing staff. This was no exception. There seemed to be plenty of staff on hand, judging from the amount of laughter we heard coming from the nurses station. ;o) I'd much rather hear laughter than grumbling and discontent. If they could balance the fun with a bit more attention to patients maybe even before they are buzzed, or responding in a more timely manner when they are buzzed.

Nurses were the best. I only had problems with one nurse at night. She was rude and walked around with a chip on her shoulder. She regularilly failed to give me something that I needed, whether it was meds to prevent infection to a machine to run the leg compressers. The morning nurse spent a good bit of time trying to correct night nurses job.

It is important to rememebr that this is a school and rounds of student doctors where everywhere. I think more people have seen my belly than every before. It confused me many times because I did not have "a" doctor that I could talk to. Just residents. Dr. Schuricht only came in once. I found out later that the nurse and resident released me before Dr. Schuricht got there. He was looking for me but they had sent me home.

Over all I was not dissatisfied with the hospital and would go there again if I needed to.

i give it a "10"...from beginning to end, i was treated extremely well by everyone there

if I needed any further surgery or treatment I wouldn't hesitate to return to this facility

I thought that the nursing staff left much to be desired. Short staffed, slow to respond. Interns were even worse.

The nursing staff & general staff memebers were very nice and helpful no matter what you needed. I had great nurses that were sympathic of my surgery and problems that occured during my surgery. I am glad there are nurses that still do care. & they were on staff when i was there!!

Overall I felt really good about the nurses help and treatment. But the night nurses were horrible. I did not feel comfortable at all. The day shift was great.

I was disappointed in the level of post-op care from hospital staff. I expected a hospital with an excellent reputation to have done a much better job in providing personal care to patients.

The only thing I would change is that they would automatically order a bed that changes into a chair (I believe it is a BariCare Bed) for each patient that atleast is in here for this surgery or any to assist in movement.
