- tomcooks 8y agoUse the buzzer button, wait for a nurse to come and express a complaint.
- mcv 8y agoThat's why you've got a partner there with you. The partner's job is to keep an eye on whatever the young mother needs and make it happen.
- sneak 8y agoNo, the facility’s job is to provide the best possible environment for healing and recovery.
- mcv 8y agoOf course, but sometimes they need someone to tell them what is needed in order to provide that.
- rco8786 8y agoWhich I’m doing. But we’re unfortunately stuck here and I’m just 1 person against an entire fleet of nurses, who also happen to be the caregivers.
- mcv 8y agoI never said it would be easy, but it's important. Although honestly, unless the nurses want to be intentionally awful at their job, they will listen to you. They may not always be able to obey the letter of your request, but they absolutely should figure out a solution to any problem that's interfering with recovery.
- rco8786 8y agoRight, and I never said I wasn't doing it. But since this post was about how hard it was to sleep in hospitals, and I was in a hospital and my wife was struggling to sleep, I figured I'd share my story.
