When we got to discharge she said something that made us believe we could leave but turns out that discharge needed to see him - Again what was said to who and by whom?
nurse in red pants needs replaced. - No offense here but you have given three generalities, one of them because she was "not doing anything" and never gave any details on what if anything actually happened yet you feel the need to tell everyone on TOTV that she needs replaced.
Nurses work very long hours with almost no appreciation. They are suppose to get a 30 minute lunch but don't often have time to take one so they eat on the go. Most don't punch a clock right when it's there time to go, especially if they are busy and have lots of patients.
I might understand if there were something in this thread indicating "red pants" did something terrible but I don't see it. In my opinion you are being way too harsh.

HOLD YOUR HORSES Peterguru! I too have spent MANY a day in the Hospital, due to 27 years of serious heart problems and have never had trouble identifying who was the hard working, dedicated and caring nurse from the HIGH HORSE egotists and goof offs.
No patient should be treated in anything less than a civil manor. It doesn't matter if the nurse missed lunch, worked long hours or stayed overtime. Those are issues to be worked out with the Hospital management and not to be taken out on the patients.
Nurses chose this line of work and for the most part love it. Those who are not happy, for any reason should, find a different line of work.
