the nurses that handle my son is horrible, she made a scene in front of my family, and when my 17month old child was in pain after his incision surgery to remove a cyst. she ask us to have the word "please" at the end of our request in order for her to do it. UNPROFESSIONAL. UNFIT FOR THE JOB. doesn't matter if she's been there for a long time. she had her time, she's ready to move on, nurse is no longer a job for her, as she is not fit to handle worried parents, children in pain.

The medical staff at Womens and Childrens Hospital is top notch. Unfortunately, they are crippled by a bureaucracy and set of systems that borders on the third world in terms of its ability to get anything right. The chief function of patients is to shuffle paperwork from one desk to another or to make repeated phone calls to get things straight. Frankly, if I was in charge of the hospital I would be embarrassed. If I was a shareholder, I would be outraged. I assume the doctors and nurses put up with it because they are committed to the work. And I assume some of the staff put up with it for the same reasons. Some of the other staff, however, excel in officiousness and callowness.

My experience at women's and children's hospital was horrible. My girlfriend went in to have our daughter, and between the admit staff and the hospitalist who did her tubal ligation, I was ready to curse someone out. The admit staff was rude and "put out" that they had to do their job. The hospitalist who did her tubal ligation told her before they started that it would be a laproscopic procedure, with a few small incisions, and when she came out of surgery she had a cut from her navel that was about 3-4 inches long. The surgery had complications, which I understand is sometimes unavoidable, but the incision looks horrible, like a 12 year old tried to sew her up. The nurses were great, and the nursery staff was awesome, but the hospital leaves alot to be desired. It was not the first bad experience I had there, when at christmas my son was taken there, and because I couldn't get answers as to what was going on, i asked that the sheriff's office be called on his mother. I was told by the hospital staff that if the sheriff's office was called, I would be arrested. They then allowed my son's mother to sneak out a back door with my son after OCS had specifically said he was to go home with me. I would not recommend anyone going to women's and children's hospital until the hospital takes a good hard look at the way it's being ran.

I gave birth to my son at this hospital in 2005. During my delivery my nurse was very rude and my doctor was running late. When he finally showed up he didn't say a word and stuck a yellow hook inside me to pop my water, which I didn't realize thats what he was doing until I started to feel warm liquid sensation. He never informed me of anything that he was doing, then he walked out and didn't come back. When my mother in-law stuck up for me because I couldn't at the time, she asked the nurse where the doctor was and she said that he doesn't work on tuesdays. A half hour later my doctors partner walked in and delivered my baby. On the second day of my recovery I was discharged the pediactric doctor herself came into my room to inform me that I had been discharged and that I could take my baby home. When I went to the nursery the nurses were yet again very rude and said that they hadn't gotten any authorization of my son to be released and that he would have to stay there for a few more days because he had jondus. I strictly only wanted to breast feed, but lived 30 min away from the hospital. I had to stay with my sister in-law who lived nearer to the hospital to go back and forth to the hospital every hour and a half to breast feed. Everytime I went into the nursery the nurses were very rude. I felt like they were keeping my son hostage from me and that I didn't know how they were treating him when I wasn't around, especially because how they were treating me. For this being my first birth I was very disappointed on how rude the staff nurses were and I will never be able to get that first experience back ever again. Thanks to all the rude nurses that don't give a damn whos not only day they ruined, but for ruining my first birth experience.

Women's and Children's Hospital is a very good place to have surgery. When I had my tonsils removed on July 12, 2012, the staff was very kind and eased my fears. They finished my surgery in around twenty minutes and I was given medicine immediately. It is very convenient because it is about five minutes away from my house, which made me happy when it was time to go home.
