I was hired at Stevens, was specific on which job I wanted and then when I began to work, the manager tried forcing me into a completely different position (and different pay grade which I would not get) other than I was hired for and which I wasn't liscensed to do! I lasted all of 4 days as an employee at Stevens, the reason given for my 'dismissal' , my manager wanted someone 'more flexible'! How many more employess are working at Stevens that are not qualified nor liscensed to do??? Go to another hospital to seek your care and work for!

I had seen my doctor for a sinus infection that was very painful. She had given me a couple RX's one for the sinus infection the other for pain. I took the pills when I was suppose to and lucky for me my monthly friend came along to make being sick even better. The pain pill give to me has percocet, bucause of my friend coming I took some tylenol for my craps. Unknowing that percocet has a large amount of tylenol in it I became very sick very fast. I began to get sick black chuncks... Not good. I called the 911 and they told me I had made myself unknowingly dealthly sick. My husband rushed me to Stevens Hospital where I waited for 3 hours in there waiting room get sick black stuff and passing out. My husband finally demanded to see someone after I passed out on the floor the third time. They brought me to a room where we waited for another 30 minutes for a nurse to come in a yell at me. I wish I could remember her name began to yell at me and tell me how stupid I am for taking pills to get high. Now at 3:30am nobody looks good and I had been sick for the last week, but I was no pill popper! I was so mad that I yelled back at her explaining what happened and all she did was say "Oh" and walked out the room. By the time I saw the doctor I had nothing in my system and all they did was put fuilds in me. If the nurses hadn't been so rude and waiting my time maybe I wouldn't have such a bad feeling for them. I HATE THAT HOSPITAL & WOULD RATHER DIE THEN GO THERE AGAIN! Pros: NOTHING Cons: The Rude Nurses

I had a horrible experience giving birth to my 3rd child at Stevens. I had my 2nd baby there and it was a wonderful,beautiful experience, but the birth of my 3rd baby made it so I would rather give birth in my own bathtub. Upon arrival at the hospital having contractions(about 2am), the nurse (Rose) told me I wasn't in labor. Being my 3rd baby, I knew my body and knew labor. I was about 4 weeks early so I knew this could cause problems with our baby. She argued with me and seeming as I was in a good amount of pain, talked me into a shot of Morphine without really explaining the side effects. I receive the shot she gets ready to discharge me saying to come back in the morning. I asked her to check my cervix before I left and lo and behold Ive gone from 2 centimeters dilated to 3 in 30 minutes. She says to me "well it seems you are in labor". Wasn't this what I had told her when I walked in? The nurse was very forceful and kept trying to physically put me in positions I didn't want to be in till I finally started smacking her hands every time she grabbed me.My son was born at 7am, 5 hours after I walked in the hospital. Because of the morphine shot my baby didn't want to breathe and had to be put on medications to counter the effects. He also had withdrawal syndromes and had to stay in the hospital for 3 days during which my husband and I were made to feel like we were addicts. The head charge nurse was very rude and lippy to my husband and spoke to him like he was child. We do not believe in circumcision but were constantly harassed about it. We had to tell staff members multiple times we didn't want one. If I would have left the hospital when told I wasn't in labor there is a good chance I could have given birth to a preterm baby with a cord around his neck who didn't want to breathe without medical assistance. If this would have happened he would have died and with the complications I was having with post delivery. PLEASE DON'T HAVE YOUR BABY HERE!

I was a recent patient at Stevens hospital and I must say that it was a very bad experience! Student nures and rooky doctors left needle scares all over my arms not to mention that they were very RUDE to me. They talked down to me, threaten to call security on me and talked abotu me behind my back-they didnt know that i was listening. To make this so bad is that these bad habits that the students nures and rooky doctors will take this bevaivior to other hospitals. I strongly suggest that you consider another hospital over Stevens when considering treatment. Stevens hospital is lucky-I could be much, much more nasty when when describing my experience there. i'm lucky to be alive-no thanks to them!!!!!!!! Pros: None Cons: Bad Service
