I thought I'd read on here that spouses have stayed overnight in ICU rooms. We have private (kind of) icu rooms. Four individual rooms that have glass fronted walls that look onto one open area. They allow visitors all day except change of shift. Then they will be kicking my husband out "sometime in the evening". They wouldn't be more specific. They said no spouses can stay overnight because "it's ICU". So what? They can stay all day long, but it gets dark outside and suddenly they become burdensome?
I don't want to have a party, I just want him to be there. Last time the night nurse treated me like crap, and I wasn't allowed to request a different one, like on regular floors. She bumped stuff into me, leaned on me, etc., then when I'd let her know she was pushing something into me, she's say "no I'm not". (Gee, really? Cause that means the chair pushed ITSELF into me and almost knocked me over, lady!) This was after a c-section (they had me in the heart icu just in case), and I was able to speak up for myself and move around . This time I'll be pretty helpless.
I guess I'll just have to pray really hard that I get a nurse like the early-evening nurse I had last time. She was awesome.
