Columbus Survival Guide (Part 1): School Overview

Very disappointed in Riverside Hospital Emergency Room Nursing Staff that failed all the goals listed below. Patient-centered: Goals should be developed in collaboration with the patient and their family, taking their individual needs and preferences into account. SMART goals: Goals should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Measurable: Use specific criteria to determine if the goal has been met. For example, "The patient's blood pressure will be below 140/90 within one hour" is measurable. Achievable: Ensure the goals are realistic and attainable for the patient. Relevant: Goals should align with the patient's health concerns and overall well-being. Time-bound: Set a reasonable timeframe for achieving the goal. Especially the head nurse he was argumentive, rude, non caring, no empathy, and walk around with his chest puffed out like he's Mr. Big. I brought my mom there for severe abdominal pain from bowel obstruction per the x-rays taken the day before. She was evaluated and a cat scan was taken to have a better review. The nice doctor came in the little tiny freezing room that we were in and went over the results with me. It was pretty bad and he decided that being admitted for at least a day to treat the obstruction better would be best. I sat in that tiny room with my mom laying on what seems like a cot and me in a hard wood chair for 13 humiliating hours. The nurse stopped by once and stated she was going to get my 84 year old mom a comfortable bed, but that never happened. I asked her when was my mom going to be admitted? The nurse stated I don't know because there aren't any rooms available. I told her it was so uncomfortable sitting in that hard chair for 13 hours, and she stated oh well that's all we have. I told her please call transportation so my mom can go back to a comfortable bed. That's when the head nurse came in the little cubby hole they called a room. Puffed his chest out and was ready for an argument in which he definitely received. My mom had an IV in her arm so they sent in a nurse that was getting ready to clock out since her shift was over. This person rushed in our room, snatched the tape off my mom's arm, had her screaming in pain, stuck some gauze and twisted some of that brown tape around her arm and left. I told her why are you being so Ruff, she stated the faster you take it off the better. The tape kept getting stuck so she snatched it 3-4 times while my mom kept telling her to stop because it hurts. Then she just snatched the needle out!! I said is something wrong with you? She rushed out of the room , I followed her so I could find out who her manager was. She grabbed her belongings and out the door she went. If you're ever in Riverside Emergency Room please do not let the nurse below enter your room. She needs more training. Please look closely to my mom's arm and how that nurse twisted that tape around it. ASHAMED!!!
