Do you ever wonder what your patients actually think of
you or the other nurses? A survey was
done to ask that very question of patients in various hospitals around the
country. Answers are by patients.
-
I think about 80 percent do. I think a few are burnt out and should
consider retiring.
-
I think about 60 percent do. I think some nurses have a desire to be a
doctor instead, but needed to cut the education time down.
- I believe 95 percent of all nurses love
their jobs.
Would you rather have a male or female nurse?
-
Being female, I always preferred a female
nurse. As I’ve gotten older it does not
matter.
-
No difference to me at all
- I think because I’m male, a male nurse
would be more in touch with my issues.
When hospitalized, how would you rate your treatment by
the nurses on a scale of 1-10, 10 being highest?
-
9- The nurses were all pretty good to me,
except one and she was filling in.
-
9- I had excellent care from the nurses.
-
10- The nurses made my stay tolerable.
What did a nurse do that you feel was beyond the call
of duty?
-
My nurse talked with me extensively, and we
became friends. I told her about my
adopted mother and how I had looked for her over the years. The following day the nurse brought me a name
of a private investigator that specialized in similar cases. Long story short, he reconnected with my
brother and my biological mom, all thanks to my nurse.
-
The nurse that cared for me gave me a book
about weight, and the best ways to get on a track to being healthy. It worked. I went back to see him 6 months later to show off the 40 pounds id lost.
When hospitalized, how quickly did a nurse respond when
you needed something?
-
Usually pretty quick, depending on how busy
they were.
-
Not very fast, I think they get tired of
hearing that call button buzz
-
Quickly, and if they could not come right
away they always apologized.
Based on your nursing care when hospitalized, would you
utilize that hospital if one was needed?
-
Without a doubt
-
Probably, but it would depend on the doctor
-
Yes, the nurses provided great care
Do you think most nurses actually care about the
patient?
- I think that totally depends on the patient
- Yes, if the patient is polite and not
overly demanding
- Yes, otherwise they would choose a
different profession.
- I think it depends on the patient
Do you think nurses worry about germs and contracting disease?
Do you think nurses worry about germs and contracting disease?
- I don’t see how they could avoid being
concerned
-
Maybe in the beginning of their career
-
Probably some, but I don’t think they dwell
on it
Do you think nursing is a good career choice?
-
For the right person, yes
-
For sure, it has job security and good
salary.
-
If you enjoy that type of work, Yes.
It was nice to review the surveys and see that for the
most part the patients were satisfied with the care they received from their
nurse. There are very few complaints
toward nurses, which is a good indication that most nurses are devoted to their
career. Patient satisfaction surveys are
important, and used to ensure quality care for patients. For the most part, they are given at random,
and always on a volunteer basis. Surveys
are used to improve the care of patients, and to ensure all nurses are doing a
satisfactory job with patients. This
particular random survey throughout the country was proof positive; nurses are
doing a great job.
