My daughter had a very bad infection and had to stay in the hospital for a few days. While at the hospital the nightshift was very caring and attentive. There was a young male named Juan who was by far one of the best medical professionals I have ever met and a woman from Florida who was a traveling nurse. I would give 5 stars if those 2 amazing poeple were the only ones we met. Unfortunatel some the day shift there was horrible. There is a girl on day shift who is probably the worst nurse I've ever had the misfortune of meeting. Her name was Misty Stewart. This women was extremely rude and apparently whatever cracker jack box she pulled her nursing license from didn't teach her how to tell time or inform her good bed side manner is a necessity when dealing with a sick 2 year old. A few on day shift there were horrible but she stood out alot. If not for Juan's amazing attitude and work ethic I would die on the side of the road before letting that hospital touch me.
