. "10"^^ . "2"^^ . "Suck Suck Suck! If you are having a baby steer clear of this facility..particularly if it is your first baby. There are few and far between nurses and admin that make up for this crappy experience. But the far more prevalent culture of employees who think they know you better than you and are snobby little bitches are in your face 24 hours a day! I had to contact the hospital administrator just to get these placating women to do very simplistic things! They DO NOT listen to you, they deliver things 4 hours or more late (if they \"remember\" at all), they actually begrudge you if you stay more than 24 hours and they WILL go behind your back and do what you specifically asked them not to with YOUR child! They will also not suggest things they COULD and SHOULD do for you because of the \"extra\" work. What \"extra\" work? YOUR A NURSE!!! I found these things out when the good ones came in and said things like \"where is your \"such-n-such\" haven't they given you one yet?\" and they would run to get whatever it was....but this was after the shift change where before you had been complaining of pains or concerns for hours and no one did anything about it! Then they will sneer at you to your face if you ask them direct and simple questions like \"How is my baby doing?\" These people need some serious training or firing! Only a select few Makayla (lactation specialist), Mary (Nurse), and middle eastern nurse (sorry I forgot your name) and a VERY few others gave me reason not to fail this hospital entirely. \n\nHere is a concrete example of why I hate lazy or stubborn or vindictive \"professionals.\" I was not producing enough colostrum (pre-milk), so the pediatrician on-call suggested I supplement. I expressed that it was my wish that my child be breast-fed only, but she never mentioned that I COULD use the hospital pump. Later on (after missing two feeding times another nurse asked if I'd like to and I said I would. A friend of the family who has been a long time maternity nurse told me over the phone that they should have brought me a pump right away and that if I went too many feedings without breast milk that my child would maybe not take to the breast at all, that my milk could dry out and not to listen to these nurses who were trying to shove supplement down my throat as well as my baby's. Sure enough my nursery nurse was CONVINCED that supplement would \"cure\" my infants slight Jaundice. So she (against my very clear request fed my baby by the bottle BEFORE bringing her to me to try and breast feed first! I had to beg for bottles to express milk into, then I had to get out of bed hours after delivery and walk down to the nursery (where I wasn't getting a very welcoming vibe) and basically watch to make sure they were feeding it to her! A nightmare! They could have ruined my chances of breastfeeding my own child and deigned her all the wonderful bonding and benefits that breastfeeding offers. All because they didn't like me staying as long as my daughter or getting into what they obviously considered to be \"their\" business. I'm sorry. You have MY daughter in your nursery. YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! And you had better answer me when I ask you what is going on with her! \n\nIn short, unless you yourself are already well educated in hospital terminology and have been through what you are being admitted for more than once before, I strongly recommend going somewhere else, because these people will not aide you in getting the most out of your hospital stay and by doing so could adversely affect your health. There are simply not enough of them that listen to the patient."^^ . "2013-10-02T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ . . . "2"^^ .
