I had my first daughter at Shore. Food was good, a lot of the nurses I had were great one of my nurses was terrible. I had a c-section and I was suppose to have pain meds on a timed schedule and she only came when Id call for her (not like all the others that came by themselves at set times) then when I called itd take her an hour or two to come to my room. Then when she was there shed gossip quite loud about some other nurses right infront of me. The thing that PISSED ME OFF THE MOST was a nurse came to check on my daughter and take her for weight and to be looked over (I asked why she was taking her and thats what she told me in response) she came back and told me she had given her a vaccination that I was told could be given now OR at 2 months. I told them I wanted to give her the shot at 2 months since it wasnt really a needed vaccination at the time and I wanted to read the information they had given me at the time. She brought my daughter back and told me they gave her the shot WITHOUT MY CONSENT or WITHOUT ME SIGNING THE CONSENT PAPERS!!! She apologized and gave me a COMPLIMENTORY PEN, yes a pen! She then brought me the consent papers to sign after she had already given my child the shot against my wishes (at that point in time). I am not an anti-vaccination person I just want to know what is being given to my child. The Bella Baby Photography came to take pictures of my daughter the day before I was suppose to leave, she was taking pictures and another nurse came to take my baby to draw blood. The photographer said shed come back after she was done with my baby. She never came back she got too busy (not a problem). I asked a nurse about her or if she was going to come back the nurse told me "she says she has enough pictures but shell come take more if youd like" she was having troubles with her camera and computer and by this time I had been released from the hospital and was free to leave so I just wanted to get out of there. I never received any email of my babies pictures. It was just a bad experience.

NJ

NJ Ghostbusters

Where to begin.... I arrived in medical distress from the parking garage entrance, security was not willing to help me to the ER and did not call for help. After wandering around in the facility, I found it on my own. The ER was relatviely empty as it was late night, however ER staff (other than the attending physician) had no sense of urgency. On at least two occassions the attending physician scolded nursing staff for not doing their jobs, and asked them what was taking so long. Long story short, proper NJ protocols for my treatment were not followed. Followup, my insurance denied a large chunk of my bill due to unnecessary services. Apparantly a blood alcohol test with negative results is not necessary for a stroke patient with a family history of stroke who denies drinking anytime prior to the stroke. Customer service is HORRIBLE. Ive recieved multiple automated calls and voicemails from an out of state firm, when I call back at the number provided, either noone answers or Im put on indefinite hold. Facility security is also horribly poor. On a visit to pickup cat scan films I found myself wandering around the completely unsecure nuclear medicine area looking for anyone to send me in the correct direction. I had full access to MRI and X ray machines as I was scouring each lab for anyone who could help me. Anyone off the street could easily walk in and steal or vandalize equipment in these areas. I wouldnt be posting this if I had not tried to contact customer service at least a dozen times, it just seems they dont care.

This is the worst hospital!!! Sorry, but Ive been there twice in the last month on completely unrelated emergencies! 1st one was an elderly man 88yrs young with purple swollen legs that were cold? And they sent him to xray?? Which should have been ultrasound? For blood clots? The er doc said its impossible cause hes on blood thinners! And they dont have ultrasound at 2am? Didnt know blood clots need an appointment? Needless to say the next morning the ultrasound was done and go figure his legs were full of them!!!! Thank God his screen was still in place from 10yrs ago!!!! And now tonight!! My niece 10yrs old was rushed in by ambulance with seizures!!! Even though she was there twice this past week and sent home with a diagnosis for her extremely bad headaches as allergies?? And put her on benadryl??? Well thank God the transport for Cooper were there when she had the worst seizure!! Cause the same er doc as my 1st er visit with the elderly man took 20min to get her ?? Thank God the emts were there!!!! I could go on and on with the numerous bad experiences Ive had at this hospital over the years but Id probably waste a few years of my own!! Telling you about it!!!! Dont go to this hospital!!!!!

I watched an elderly woman with a broken arm, tip of the womans bone poking through her skin get rushed into the x-ray room, where the x-ray tech. took his sweet time lining everything up just right to get the perfect action shot to confirm, *hey this arm is broken.* After that she got carted to her bed by her son, and about 20 minutes later a nurse meandered into her room and said she was going to administer a morphine shot. I watched them wait for another 2 hours in the ER before another nurse came by with the doctor with wrappings for a splint for her broken arm. The entire time she sat in that room, only her son was there with her. I saw the doctor meander in once to inform her hey your arm is broken. And then later when he eventually got around to applying the splint. I guess its fair to say it was late at night so everybody was working pretty slow, but it seems rather odd to have 7 nurses/nurses aids meandering about at whatever pace they can muster, and maybe a "one and a half doctor on staff" at an emergency room.
