  Triage here seems very badly mismanaged. I waited far too long and saw far too many people who arrived long after I had, get admitted for non life threatening maladies. By the time I got assessed and sent to emergency for stitches, my wound had nearly healed itself. I could have grown another appendage in the time it took to deal with this ineptitude. Fortunately, the staff was apologetic for misplacing my priority in sequence, which is the only reason they got a second star. Hopefully, I will not need to return here.

  Took my 4 year old in at 7pm for a dog bite to the face. We did not see a triage nurse for an hour and a half. Sat in a small room with vomiting children, coughing adults, and a person who was not mentally all there. 1 nurse was doing triage. Once done there, I had to wait in the cubicle for the man to leave the area before I felt safe moving around to the hallway to walk to the Emerge waiting area (The nurse had me leave through another door as to avoid him). Here I was seen by a Nurse practitioner after an hour. She was able to help my daughters open wound and get us on our way. I don't know why we waited soooo long in triage as it was not necessary, especially with sick children. Something needs to be done.

  Some of the nurses are remarkable, others not so much. Two experiences I've had one in ER and one in maternity. The paediatric nurses were AMAZING. Sweetest, most genuine woman I have ever met. However, the nurses in maternity were few and far in between. I had one really sweet nurse when I was there, the others were ridiculous. We were first time parents...never shown how to bathe, etc. I had an unplanned c-section, and the second day the nurse was checking the incision so she had me lay back... I don't know if you have ever had a c-section but on the second day you can't exactly lift yourself....well she refused to help me back up from a laying position and I had to wait for my husband to return to the room to help me back up. Like, are you kidding me? I rarely saw the nurses while I was in there... other than that, the OB's are amazing... and the OR and recovery nurses were very sweet.

  Just spent the last week here on medicine floor 3. Wonderful experience overall. Of course, the more talkative very sweet nurses and doctors who try to make you feel as comfortable and secure as possible definitely deserve a shout.
