Birthing Center At Washington Hospital

It is a little tricky leaving a review for a birthing center for many reasons. First, it’s not like we’ve had many chances to compare experiences elsewhere. Second, there are actually two separate experiences here (birth and recovery). Taking all of that into account, however, we have to give a 2-​star review.
The delivery room was great. A good amount of space and our own bathroom.
The delivery nurses were quite good. Made my wife feel at ease (to the extent possible) at each step and gave and air of confidence that you want in that situation.
Doctors were good. However, my wife had to wait quite a while to get her epidural due to the large number of deliveries that night. After waiting through a painful hour, it turns out the anesthesiologist placed the thing pointing in the wrong direction (upwards instead of downwards). It was noticed an hour or so later, so my wife had to go through the epidural procedure a second time. Quite a bit of extra pain due to that error.
After delivery we were moved to a recovery room. This is where things start to go downhill fast.
The room was quite disorganized. It had surplus computer equipment and furniture in it, making it seem much more confined that it should have been. No private shower, though the communal shower was well maintained. The nurses in the recovery wing seem to be at a lower tier than the delivery nurses. Overall, I suppose one would rather have it this way than reversed, but top tier all around would be nice. We were made to feel that we were bothering the nurses when we needed more ice for my wife or anything else for that matter. Also, the room wasn’t really ready for us when they moved us in. Missing supplies that we had to ask for, etc.
Then the lactation support really made us nervous. The lactation consultants would only seem to come around after my wife had tried to feed or the baby was fast asleep. We saw three different consultants over the recovery time at the hospital. None of them really saw the baby latch properly, but gave us a sort of «don’t worry it will be fine» sort of attitude. This scared us greatly. Turns out we were right to be scared. Our baby never truly latched properly. We came back for consultations after we were discharged. We received conflicting advice from the various consultants and the latching was never fixed. Our baby was actually quite under-​fed for the first two months because we thought he was feeding well given the advice and observations of the consultants. His weight was not improving, so we hired a private lactation consultant who actually spent time with us and gave concrete steps to improve feeding. His weight improved dramatically after that. We now feel so guilty for not feeding him well the first two months. But in reality, we had no clue what proper feeding looked like and what proper baby behavior was being first time parents.
Anyway, the poor lactation support, the shoddy recovery room, annoyed recovery nurses, make us have to recommend that you find another place to deliver. It’s too bad considering the quality care you might receive on delivery side (assuming your epidural goes the right direction, of course).

My husband and I were both amazed by our experience with Washington Hospital’s Labor & Delivery. Every single staff member that we interacted with, whether they were doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, custodians, volunteers, food and nutrition services, security guards, lactation consultants or lab techs were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. They do everything day or night to make sure you are comfortable and feel supported. The place runs like a well-​oiled machine. Everyone knows their role and does their job smoothly and effectively.
The labor and delivery rooms are all private (with your own shower) and neither you nor your baby ever need to leave the room. They bring everything to you. The facilities were all very clean. The only thing I wish the rooms had were more comfortable sleeping arrangements for your support person. My husband endured some really uncomfortable nights on the pull out bed.
On our second day there were lots of moms going into labor so we got moved to a postpartum room in the nursery. It was not as nice as the labor & delivery room and didn’t have a private shower, but it was still roomy and clean. The communal shower was way nicer than the one in the L&D rooms and even nicer than my shower at home!
Overall we were thrilled with the level of care we received!

I had a scheduled C-​section. Came in on March 27^th at 5 as stated. When we got to the second floor, we checked in. Right when we walked in, the charge nurse was yelling from a room saying «stop, stop, come in here.» Yes, very unprofessionally calling at me to get into my delivery room. After 10 minutes, I met the nurse assigned for my room. (I’m really bad with names and should of wrote down each of the nurses’ names that was there to assist me.) Note: I had this nurse more than once during my whole 3 nights stay there. She was the best one I had. She made sure I drank my medications on time without having to ring for her. Whenever I called for help she was quickly there and if she couldn’t she’ll let me know on the phone call. I also had this other nurse she was great though she was strict, she was as attentive as my first nurse but she got me everything but in longer times. She also was strict whenever I asked for anything. Like when I asked for extra diapers. She made sure that there were no diapers left before giving me any. No more jellos in the room before handing me more. Etc.
The nurses were just there. If you don’t remind them that it’s time for your medication, they will never be there. They would only come in if you buzzed for them.
I had one rude nurse my whole stay. I understand she was just covering for my nurse who happened to be on her break on two different nights but it doesn’t mean that you don’t do your job. I asked her to help me with my newborn to change her diaper cuz I wasn’t able to stand yet due to my c-​section. This is what she told me with attitude. «You should be doing this, we can’t have you leave this place without knowing how to do this.» She was mad that she had to change a diaper!!! I wanted to say, I just had a c-​section! Plus, I have a 2 years old, that I raised. I change diapers and breastfed her too! I wanted to give her an attitude back but I had no energy. The second night. I buzzed the nurses station because my daughter wet her bassinet so she came. She gave me an attitude while changing the sheets. Like she hates her job. Saying she has someone pushing in another room. Like seriously, why did you leave her in the first place if you’re going to be mad at me for having my daughter pee on the bassinet??? Really rude and no hospitality.
They were also very stingy about their supplies. You couldn’t get more pads or gauge undies because there’s a bag pre-​packed for you. That’s all you get. They were also stingy with the diapers. Ugh.
This service was no where near my service at Kaiser. Kaiser was more hospitable, and generous with supplies. Better nurses and better service. More organized.
The only thing i liked was the no visitor limit.
I would never recommend giving birth here to any one. Might as well take the drive to Alta Bates or Stanford.

Amazing experience! such wonderful service. Nurses are best part of hospital. They are there day and night to make sure you are comfortable with baby before you leave. They are there to support you and patiently guide you and make it as easy as possible.
Equipments and facility itself is very clean and private rooms are perfect. Staff and doctors are kind and efficient.

I wrote this review under Washington Hospital Healthcare System, didn’t know there were already reviews under Birthing Center. well, my experience with them was so horrible and traumatizing, I’m still upset about it after 2 years yep, it’s been 2 yrs so I think I’m just gonna leave my reviews under both.
This review is based on my stay in the delivery/​postpartum unit — I really really wish I could give this hospital 0 stars. I definitely DO NOT recommend Washington hospital for new parents or any parents to be for that matter. They DO NOT have a nursery so the baby is with you ²⁴⁄₇ and lazy ass nurses who just stood there while I struggled to change my new born after having major surgery. (this was my 2^nd c-​section) oh, and the food sucks! I couldn’t eat anything, everything was bland and dry. The only good thing about my stay was that I had a private room, but they did try to transfer me to a smaller room with no bathroom in the old hospital wing where they were currently renovating. Of course I refused to move and was discharged the next day.
This is the worst hospital ever! Not to mention super cheap — asked for extra surgical underwear, you know the gauze ones they give u post surgery and the nurse only gave me 1 stating that my insurance only covered 1 extra WTF!?! I saw my hospital bill, over 60K (thank God we have inc.) and it only covered 1 extra underwear? are you f*cking kidding me? I had my 1^st born at Kaiser and they weren’t the greatest but at least they gave me tons of free stuff including a diaper bag. Washington didn’t give us anything, unless we asked for it. No diapers, no formulas, nothing.
PLEASE PLEASE do not pick this hospital if you have a choice. I had open access (CIGNA PPO) which means that I could pretty much go anywhere I wanted to, but I chose Washington since it was the closest to home, my bad! So sorry that I picked this sorry ass hospital, PLEASE PLEASE do not make the same mistake!!!

I wanted to write a glowing review for this hospital birthing center. I just noticed that the previous reviewer on ⁵⁄₂₂ summed up the experience.
The nurse, the doctors — Pediatrician, OBGYN, the anesthesiologist, the lactation consultants are all great.
I had to get induced and then my labor did not progress so I got a C section. Personally I was hoping for a natural delivery and in the end had to get every medical intervention possible. Though undesirable I have made peace with it and I don’t think I could have had my baby any other way. But during this process I got a chance to work with the wonderful staff at the hospital. The sheer dedication of the staff moves me to tears. The nurses work 12 hour shifts and they are constantly on the move. And during my recovery process helped me immensely. They have to help clean the patient and take care of their needs which involves the dirtiest jobs. But they didn’t even bat an eyelid.
To sum up my experience here’s an example. When I got admitted and I started interacting with the first nurse and the doctor I thought to myself that they were so good and I started remembering/​noting their names. But as the day progressed and the next day came each staff was as good or in some cases even better and that’s when I stopped making notes. I just couldn’t keep a tab anymore. Everyone is just awesome.
My beautiful labor experience was really enhanced in a way that I think will only be possible in a small community hospital like Washington.

I had my daughter here two years ago. I loved having my husband able to stay in the room and sleep there, as well as keeping my daughter in the room the entire time. Having a room to ourselves was also a plus.
My ob-​gyn is great and the nurses were wonderful. For the first day.
After I gave birth, things slid a bit downhill. One nurse gave me dirty looks for sleeping through when I was supposed to feed my baby. Unfortunately, when your baby doesn’t cry and nobody wakes you, it’s extremely easy for an exhausted new mother to sleep more than two or three hours at a time! I would’ve liked more help or understanding here.
The lactation specialist was useless. Whenever I asked her or the nurses for help, because my daughter would just roll off after a minute or so, they would come in, jam her on my breast, and leave. And then a minute or two later, I’d be right back where we started. I wound up going to an outside lactation clinic a few days after we were discharged.
All in all, a good experience, but not a great one.

Personally, I had the best birth experience at this hospital. On my last visit with my obgyn, I was told I should be induced that day instead of waiting for 3 more days. I just walked up to the ward and totally forgot all about the admission. They immediately got me into a room when I arrived — thanks to my doctor for calling them right away.
The staff was accommodating and actually did my admission paperwork in the room and did not chide me for not going to admissions before heading up. All the nurses I had there were wonderful. I never had the same nurse during my stay there but they are all gentle, kind and patient.
I was thankful I got a room with the shower within it. And I liked how I was in that room for the whole experience from the birth to recovery. The rooms were of a reasonable size and comfortable. The nurses also always wrote down their name for me on the white board and how I could contact them. It was just a reassuring experience. And the handover from one nurse to another was great too so they always knew what was going on.
They also had a fully electronic system and they always had to scan medication before giving it to you which helps with the tracking process. They definitely have a great team on hand — delivery nurses, the infant care nurses, lactation consultants, pediatricians, lab techs. This hospital is considered to be baby-​friendly so they only want you to breastfeed — so don’t expect any formulas here. I think that can be stressful for first time moms who are dealing with a wailing infant but they always have lactation consultants on hand who will help you out with the latching.
I enjoyed my meals actually and I like how it always had all the nutritional information. I had gestation diabetes and I appreciated the extra information on the carb count. On the day before you check out, they have a session that you can attend to wrap up the stay and gives you all the details on what to expect when you leave the hospital. I think that was really good and the volunteers of the hospital even provided a hankerchief and a onesie that says delivered at Washington Hospital (something to that effect). That is a nice touch :)
The hospital had a third party phototaking service that went round to each room to take photos of the newborn. I appreciated that cos it is a special moment and you want to remember that. Babies are only newborns and stay itty bitty for that short amount of time. The photographers are great and they move quickly to set up the shoot for you.
I enjoyed my birth experience here and I highly recommend Washington Hospital and their professional staff.

DO NOT be scared to deliver at Washington. Yes, our very first nurse that helped us pre and during the delivery was not the brightest apple, other nurses and the doctor on the floor were on point. My wife gave birth to two of our daughters here; the first one back in 2011 and most recently two months ago.
First time, they approached the birthing and the post birthing process as in what you see online, in videos, etc. My wife pushed for about two solid hours and we welcomed our first baby. Here was the run down; baby comes out, they suction, start running tests, give you back the baby to do skin on skin, then put them under a warmer, start running more tests, bath, and onto the boob. Every nurse on rotation that helped us were awesome!
Second time, most recently, the doctors basically told my wife, «you can push for 5 hours or you could push for 5 minutes, its really up to you». My wife didn’t think she had it in her, but she pushed out that baby with in 5 minutes! TROOPER! Here’s how things changed; baby comes out, suction the air way, and straight onto mom for some skin on skin… baby and mommy bonding lasted for quiet a while, maybe after an hour or so, baby got her first bath, then back onto mom for the boob, after another hour, specs were taken (weight, height, etc) then back onto mom for more skin on skin. Then other tests were ran, and that was mom’s chance to eat some food and get a little shut eye. Lactation consultants were and are amazing! I say 75% of the nurses that were on rotation that helped us were helpful, some not, especially our first nurse when we got admitted… HORRIBLE! Luckily my wife is a RN, not a birthing RN, but atleast she knew some of the things our nurse was doing was by the books; so she had to be patient with her, but man did she lack bed side manners. The other nurse who was trying to show her the ropes was fantastic, just not the one who kept telling us «I’m not new at nursing, but I’m new at this hospital»… well that’s reassuring. You’re better off lying to us… seriously.
The other nurses for the rest of our time were mostly good, some we only saw really quickly for a couple of minutes on their entire shift, others helped my wife get out of bed, get ice packs, water, got me and my wife extra pillows, etc. Overall, the staff on the floor, including house keeping were on point. They took care of us, gave us a lot of time to bond, and always helped us when we called.
The highlight of our stay here, my wife and I were struggling to sleep with the baby waking up every time we put her down. One of the nurses at night came in and saved us by taking our baby into another room for an hour and rocked her to sleep, so we could get some MUCH needed shut eye. To our surprise, this nurse is actually the one who delivered my wife when she was born at this same hospital 30+ years ago.
Men — if this is your first child, here’s what to bring for YOURSELF: comfortable clothes, tooth brush, snacks, your pillow, a blanket, camera, cell phone/​ipad along with chargers, CAR SEAT, and anything else that your significant other may want when they’re done pushing a baby out of their vagina! OH, and GET SOME SLEEP whenever you can! Even after having our second child, I «almost» forgot how little sleep you get the first two weeks of having a newborn around. GOOD LUCK!

Bad hospital. I delivered my baby there in 2011 and never seen such unorganized place. I was in admitted overnight and delivered at 7am. When the baby came out the staff weren’t even prepared. They didn’t have anything ready to receive the baby. They were running to get things while I delivered. Thank God that there wasn’t any emergency otherwise I would have sued the hospital.
Bad treatment and bad hospital.

I delivered my baby this week.
Pros:
— I like the new delivery rooms. Large and comfy with your own shower and bathroom
— food was delivered promptly and plenty of juices to chose from
— a lot of nurses around to help out
— great lactation consultant
Cons:
— no drinking hot water provided when requested
— too many nurses with the 48 hr shift and inconsistency of what nurse would do to help and different messages sent out from each nurse we interacted (I had a couple of nurses that would help change your baby’s diaper, remind you when to breastfeed and help you to the bathroom which is great! On the other hand, I also have a nurse that I hardly see them offering to help except when they measure
Baby’s temp)
— We asked to circumcise our baby but they totally forgot about it and told us that We should schedule an appt with our baby’s pediatrist.
— when the lab tech came to withdraw our baby’s blood from feet, no hot pack was used so we end up hearing and seeing the full painful process our baby has to go through

It’s been almost 6 months since I delivered my boy. That’s my first baby. I’m grateful that they helped me deliver the baby, but there are horrible things I dislike and I dont think any pregnant woman deserves that.
1 After we arrived there, they tried to check the dilation. First was a nurse coming, failed twice, she couldnt find my cervix. Then a young doctor, failed as well. Then a nurse apparently has more experience, she tried twice, and said my cervix is a little bit toward to the right. But the sad thing was the dilation was not wide enough, so they sent another nurse 1 hour later, failed again, then the experienced nurse came, everything moved on. Every check was extremely painful, I was about to pass out for so many times’ check. I would say they are not professional enough.
2 They gave me epidural, but they never told me not to eat if you want epidural which they should. As a side effect, I threw up, my whole body was numb, and I was so scared because I almost choked and I had no control of myself.
3 I was completed dilated and the nurse in charge of me went out for lunch, and I was waiting in pain for almost an hour. I felt pain because my baby was in OP position which was really unlucky. If you had any prep classes, you would know it. The symptoms came very early at the beginning of the contraction, I had very sever backpain, but nobody noticed that until pushing.
4 While pushing, after like half an hour, the doctor realized oh, it’s an OP position, then he started to rotate the baby. The worst worst thing I had was the doctor and nurses, especially the one who forgot me, were chatting, joking and laughing. They let me feel that it’s my fault to take so long, they looked very impatient. The nurse even got annoyed and said” stop crying!”, and when every contraction came she counted from 1 to 10 and asked me to push without helping me. When constraction was gone, they started chatting, joking and laughing a gain! While I was in pain! I was so frustrated, so I asked the nurse to hold my back, then she started to do so, but still not very helpful. Luckily, my husband helped me to get the right position.
5 The baby was born, 8lb 7oz. He stayed on me for like 2 minutes, then they took him away, saying that he was lack of oxygen. My mom was there, she is a nurse too. She told me that that’s because they didnt suck the omniotic water from his face right away. So my baby stayed in Lucile packard nursery for a whole week.
6 After delivery, I stayed in my room, which was nice. But they asked me to move to another room, which was at the corner and very old. I had to do so, cuz they said there were too many women coming that night.
7 Another horrible story I heard that night was a woman who delivered her first baby through C section had to deliver her second baby naturally there because of lack of medical staffs and the baby was coming, she just couldnt wait any longer.
I have to say there were some kind staffs, and I like my own doctor (not the one delivered my baby) and my midwife from PLMF. The security is good too.
But if I ever had a chance, I would change for another hospital, maybe Kaiser.

I just had my second baby at Washington Hospital. My first baby was born in 2010 and I had an even better experience this time.
You get your own private, spacious room. It has a bathroom with a shower and a sink right next to the bed. There is also a small seat that transforms into a bed for anyone staying the night with you.
The nurses are exceptional; they are very caring and accommodating. Becky was by far the best nurse. She made me and my husband feel comfortable enough to crack jokes while I was having intense contractions.
The anesthesiologist was also amazing. I did not feel the epidural beyond a tiny prick and some pressure. He was very professional and spirited.
The doctor that delivered my baby was excellent as well. She coached me through the pushing and delivered my healthy baby boy with no complications. The downside was they wouldn’t let us take video of our babies being born :(They only allowed cameras after the baby came out.
I did not taste any of the food, so I can’t say how good or bad it is. My husband went out to get me Chipotle.
The only downside was the price of newborn pics. The packages were all over $ 100 so we declined.
I will definitely have my next baby here and recommend this place to any expecting mom.

I’m only the hubby but we really like the maternity ward.
Our two kids (about 2.5 years apart) came through here and these guys do not disappoint.
The new remodeled rooms are great. You 100% get your own room, the staff are nice and responsive. Food is so-​so but there’s the cafeteria (if you really wanna eat it), or good oleChipolte nearby. The nurses really care about your well being.
A little sad is that they sometimes do transfer you to the old wing (unremodeled) cuz they need the newer rooms for delivering moms. We were transferred but same great service.
Dont’ plan to have another kid (it’s expensive!!!) but if I do, it’ll be Washington.

I had my very first baby girl here. The staff were very nice. I ended up with a c-​section but its okay. They treated me really well. I had my own room and I even got to pick what I wanted for dinner every night. The nurses helped me so much and Honestly I learned allot from them. I would with out a doubt have my next kid here. The only bad thing about this place is its a little outdated. But besides that I loved everything especially the nurses. I had my daughter here in 2011 so not sure if anything has changed since then. I had allot of visitors and they were very lenient when it came to having about 10 people in my room :)

Pro:
* Friendly staffs
* Responsive nurses
* Nice environments
* Good equipments
* Privacy
* One room for everything (convenient)
Cons:
* Inconsistency in information between nurses (confused)
* Were give what should be done in first 24 hours after 48 hours (Dam… too late)
* Were moved to a tiny room which is more appropriate as a storage room (uncomfortable)
* The tiny room takes forever to get hot water EVERY TIME we needed it. I hate wasting water.
* Were not informed about the option of breast milk pump. (lost an opportunity to practice)
* Nurses are more busy telling you what to do than listening what you need
* Seems very tight in budget. Very stingy in bringing things you need.

Well, first of all… All of you need to consider that any birth experience is like the lottery. It depends on several factors, such as: your drs, nurses on duty, and your labor…
Honestly, I had a great experience. I arrived there at 5:50ish am, was monitored for a little bit, I insisted that I wanted to get walking… When the nurses were finished doing their thing, they let me start walking… Around 8 amish, the contractions were very painful, so I told my hubby I couldn’t walk anymore, that I urgently needed to lay down… I started feeling the urge to push… my husband let them know that I wasn’t feeling well, and I had begun to push. And within minutes (seemed like seconds) all the nurses and the resident doctor was there… and voila Im a momma again.
The resident doctor was great. My doctor didn’t even make it… The nurses were great, the pediatrician was great… Seriously… everything went well. If I would have been in labor for 30 hours, maybe I would be writing a totally different review.
My only con was that when the nurse heard I was pushing, she told me not to! Um hello? are u serious? But all the other nurses were super sweet, so I can not generalize the nurses.
Im happy with my experience, if anyone has questions, feel free to write to me because I know this is a sensitive subject. And lets face it, a few reviews aren’t enough to get you by.

I went to visit my sister and her set of twins at Washington Hospital of Sat. They have VALET parking there! NOT BAD for a Hospital right? WE walked in and there is a 2 person max visitors per room. I didn’t think they would REALLY check, but they did. I think that’s awesome! Its good to know they don’t let random folks up… just in case they’re there to STEAL babies! My sister had a private room and the room was pleasantly nice. The nurses kept coming in to check up on her and the twins. My brother in law even had his own bed there too.
I think it was a great set up.

After moving to Union City a few years ago, I started going to Washington Hospital Township doctors. Reading the local papers, I became familiar with Washington Hospital’s services and wistfully hoped I would still be in this area whenever we decided to have a family.
Last year, I got pregnant and it just so happened that my OB/GYN’s office was across the street from Washington Hospital so there was no question as to where I would be delivering my baby.
During my second trimester, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and at around 30 weeks, I was scheduled to undergo non-​stress tests (NSTs) at the hospital twice a week due to this condition. As a result, I got to know the labor and delivery floor VERY well!
For the most part, the nurses on L&D wing were extremely nice and helpful. There were times that my NSTs were done by nursing students, probably on rotation from Ohlone college. I noticed that these nursing students were often shadowing a more experienced nurse. They were also very nice. The nurses were always ready to answer any questions they could answer about my baby’s activity on the monitors. They were also understanding when I reminded them that I had to eat because of my GD whenever an NST went longer than the 1 hour that it usually would take.
After weeks of NSTs, I finally went in to have my baby. Overall, my experiences with the nurses on the floor during labor and immediately after my delivery were extremely positive. I found the nurses caring and empathetic to me as the woman in labor and then as the exhausted new mother with newborn.
I was lucky and actually got to stay in the same room that I delivered in during my entire stay at the hospital for an uncomplicated, vaginal birth. This meant that I was still in the labor & delivery wing of the Birthing Center instead of the post-​partum, recovery wing.
It was maybe because of this that I had my one HORRIBLE experience with a nurse. She was callous and rude and completely unhelpful when I needed help in the middle of the night with latching on my newborn daughter. She weighed my daughter and informed me that I wasn’t making enough milk and we had to give her formula, in a «if you don’t do this, you’re a bad mother» sort of attitude. She completely stressed me out and had me in tears for pretty much the entire night. This was COMPLETELY UNLIKE any of the other nurses that had ever taken care of me in the Birthing Center before. This nurse rarely answered my calls for help and after dumping me with a bottle of formula and a supplemental nursing system, she never looked in on me again until her shift was over. I had to have another nurse come in to help me with the SNS.
The next morning, I was visited by the day charge nurse and a lactation consultant. It was a complete 180 from the previous night’s nurse and the charge seemed absolutely livid when I told her about the other nurse’s behavior. This charge nurse (I wish I could remember her name!) did so much to repair the damage the previous night’s nurse had done and I was so thankful to her for actually caring about what happened. It turns out that the nurse that cared for me the night before usually did L&D only and had no idea how to deal with a post-​partum mother; it was no excuse but at least there was a small explanation.
Despite that one horrible night, I can’t say enough positive about the Washington Hospital Birthing Center and its staff. While it may not offer the «in» things like water birth, the private rooms that you labor and deliver in are nice enough. The staff (except for that one b! tch nurse) is overall VERY VERY NICE and helpful, whether you’re there for monitoring or delivering. I’d highly recommend the Washington Hospital Birthing Center if you find yourself pregnant in the TriCity area and debating where to have your baby.

The nurses at this hospital– specifically the birthing center are so nice. I have been to several hospitals because I have sooooo many neices and nephews but the people here are so sweet.
My sister works there and recently had her twins there so they might have been nicer for that reason but they really seemed like a family which is so important when you are starting or growing your own family. All the nurses were very friendly and I could tell they actually cared about the patients… baby and mother!
When each one left their shift they would come and give my sister a kiss on her cheek and check the babies… remember she works here and I know if anyone I work with came to kiss me on my cheek I would slap the mess out of them and probably claim sexual harassment or more…
but that is the type of relationship they have…
Like sisters.
It brought tears to my eyes to think that if a woman came her all alone to have her baby and didn’t have a family that she would be in the hands of such a «family-​like» group and wouldn’t be scared or lonely at all.
KUDOS!
