University Hospital Hospital


The care I received was excellent. I didn't not have a PCA, but my pain medicine was always delivered when I needed it..the staff was caring and concerned for my recovery. I never felt like I had to look for my nurse or PCA..because they were always there assessing my condition and making sure my needs were met. My family stated that they felt comfortable leaving me in their care. That says a lot for a hospital.
I also found out that they are preparing to convert a couple of rooms as specialty rooms for bariatric surgery patients. The room I received was excellent in size, and the chairs were perfect sized for bariatric patients. I felt they were truly concerned for my recovery.

I will have to be honest. The nurses forget about your butt. I even got into an arguement with this nurse on night shift. She thought she knew everything and she didn't. Other than that everything seemed to be okay. I had no problem with anything else. Anyone that ever has to stay at the University should most definitely have RoseMary as your nurse she is good people.

I would recommend University Hospital to anyone. They have an excellent staff. They are very friendly and curtious. When ever I need anything they came immediately. If I had to rate Univetsity Hospital on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being excellent and 1 being terrible. I would give them a 9 because no one or nothing is perfect.

They seem to have the accessory staff needed but their iniative toward giving quality and compassionate care wasn't up to pare. Also there were lapses of good universal precautions with staff. They were not practicing comprehensive care. I had to call them to reconnect my Oxygen, locate my fluids and incentive spirometer, ask for help turning when I had been left on my back way too long, and even something to clear my nose after I had cried in frustration.

The staff were extraordinarily busy during my stay, so I had to wait a good while in between various requests. Now, if I'd had to wait for pain meds, I'd have been furious, but fortunately I had a pca pump! *l* Everyone was super-nice, though, except for these two particular nurses. I was doped up out of my gourd, so I can't even describe them. All I can remember is being only 12 hours or so post-op and waking up in excruciating pain because I was being turned and lifted every which way as they tried to bathe me. Despite my cries and screams to please stop, they persisted. It was AWFUL!!
