2 /5 McRicks McRicks: Communication needs to be better between the nurses and staff.
Also, most of the nurses were awesome, but some were super rude.
Bill, you made my daughter and I laugh like no one else-YOU ROCK. I can’t remember everyone’s names, but the nurse who worked the night my daughter had serotonin syndrome from zofran, and then an allergic reaction to Benadryl. Thank you. You had a clip in your hair.. and you helped my daughter through that awful experience… it was also traumatic for me, and you helped me too. I bet it’s hard to calm a parent down and also calm a child down, but you did it… and that takes skill.
I have two stars for the lack of communication and for the nurses who need to up their game. My daughter was given meds, by the nurses, when a doctor wanted to hold meds. So communication needs to be better.
Some of You made me feel like I was an idiot. My daughter noticed your rude behavior towards me as well. She didn’t need that drama. Please do better.
Doctors who had many years of experience behind them were amazing and agreed with what I was thinking. And the nurses were mostly great, but some need to remember when you’re rude to a child’s parent, that child can tell and they don’t need that when they’re sick. They acted like my daughter had PTSD when really she was still recovering from the serotonin syndrome. She’s fine now. After having antibiotics, and potassium. Once she had the right meds… magically her “panic attacks” disappeared….. her shaking episodes stopped after she was given the right meds. My daughter, (who is 15). Even said she didn’t think they were panic attacks.
I’d love to go into more detail, but I’m limited on my words here….basically, some of the nurses acted like they knew my child better than I did and weren’t accepting my ideas on what might be wrong with her. Instead they argued and gaslit. Luckily, the seasoned doctors agreed and my daughter got the help she needed, finally.
