I'm shocked to see Women and Infants has so many one star reviews, and it seems like a lot of people are just angry and haven't actually had personal experiences with actually having a child here.
I've given birth to two babies here and many of the women here went above and beyond to help us in various situations before and during labor. They were compassionate, caring, and generally helpful. My second baby was born with an issue and our nurses and [I think] the floor nurse, named Mary, worked so hard to get me discharge in time to go over to Hasbro where he was moved for an urgent surgery. I had to be induced, and one of my antenatal nurses French braided my hair for me because I couldn't do it myself because of IV placement. Both experiences were so great for us and our babies were born safely and well cared for afterward.
Like any establishment, there are grumpy people and people who don't want to be there. I'm sure this has ruined some people's experience, but the few grumpy people we encountered, we just brushed it off and did our thing. Because of the nature of their work, they have a lot of rotating nurses come through, so if you don't click with them they may be gone next time you visit the hospital anyway. Which is also a con, if you do click with them!
Also, I'm sure our midwives from OBGYN Associates were so helpful and integral to our care and experience there. They are all so amazing, caring, and helpful!
