I was an in-patient for 5 days. As a licensed nurse I know how stressed and busy nurses are, but the care was truly sub-par, especially as most of the nurses I came into contact with were "travellers", nurses who travel around the country with no affilliation with a specific hospital. It was very evident that they were there because the money was good and they did not have any loyalty to this hospital or it's patients. Most were well meaning, but very poorly informed, did not follow standard practice of nursing, upon discharge gave me entirely wrong information, etc. I would not go back.
