Sacred Heart Medical Center Hospital

It was an all right experience. I complained about my IV and the nurse on that shift ignored me. Turns out the IV came out of my vein and the liquid built up in my hand. I also complained about my mouth hurting. Two seperates nurses didn't pay any attention, turns out I had thrush. That was horrible.

Overall, the care was pretty good. The nurses for the most part listened and took care of my needs. I just a couple of bad ones.

I think the staff and facility are top notch.

Day shift nurses are usually pretty good, night shift nurses are pretty good, but if possible have someone around to save you from the swing shift staff. I think they are there for dinner, at least that was what I heard them all telling the patients when they asked for help, I am on my way to dinner and will get right on it when I get back. My doctor ordered fluids at 4PM and after my nurse went to dinner I began to get them at 8PM.

I have never in my life meet so many caring and wonderful nurses and cna's in my life. There was a couple of places that I answered Good, only cause of the fact that they had to wake me to give my med, and check my vitals, other than that the experience was great and caring. They are great people up there.

Sacred Heart Hospital is fantastic. I feel almost like going there on vacation!

Sacred Heart is a great hospital. I had a decent room, by myself, and met with very competent nursing staff. There was only one nurse (charge nurse?) who was a bit rude. When I asked for some help, she called down the hall for my scheduled nurse to "come help the GASTRIC patient!" I thought this was very insensitive. I don't think she'd yell out if I had been a cancer patient! Anyway, other than this one nurse, the entire stay was excellent. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat!

The nurses and aides were very nice and helpful. They didn't tell me all I was supposed to do though. The doctor would tell me I was supposed to be doing things I wasn't doing and I felt this was the nurses job. They were very good about helping with anything I asked for and went out of their way for me. It did take a little while sometimes for them to come to the room when I called, but they always came. I felt it was a very good hospital compared with others I have been in.

I was very comfortable, I had some complications, a bowel leak, so I was there 29 days. The bed I had was an air bed and it was comfortable.

The staff and facilities at Sacred Heart are wonderful.

Excellent. However, since my operation they have discontinued doing bariatric surgery.
