My wife has spent three months in Banner Hospitals over the last 12 months and wish that our doctor would switch hospitals. The Banner red tape is horrendous. The poor nursing staff cannot sneeze without orders. What a waist of talent! The hospital staff loose orders on a regular basis and when they find them it takes half a day to implement them. Just to get authorization for my wife to have ice chips has taken 3 days to get through the red tape and she still has not received the OK!!!!!
Our doctor put in orders for chemotherapy yesterday and she still has not received it!!! The nurses change patients every day even though they are on the same floor so every shift change requires the new nurse to get up to speed!!
Please understand the nurses for the most part are GREAT it is the hospital that is the problem!!
If you have a choice PLEASE CHOSE ANOTHER HOSPITAL.
