[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me it wasn’t just the nurses, but the sheer volume of people and none of them coordinate.

-the nurses who do vitals
-the residents
-the actual docs
-the janitor/people emptying trash
-the person who would take my blood (not the same as the nurses)
-the pharmacy people
-the pediatrician 
-the people in charge of the paperwork/birth certificate 
-the lactation consultant
-I’m probably forgetting a few

It was so horrible. I still cannot fathom why things are set up this way.[/quote]

Haven’t read all the replies but here are some that you forgot:

- the hearing screening for newborn (and sometimes they need to do it twice)
- the photographer who has rights to work at the hospital … yeah I can’t understand how the hell they get away with that, coming in to disturb you to try to make some money from you in that state, you should need to opt in for that rather than opt out.
- the genetic blood test for the baby.. sometimes done by your nurse but not part of the normal nurse checkups

I agree that it is completely insane. A few of these are necessary the rest are just so the hospital can make more money from you.[/quote]
