*ATTENTION STUDENTS* If you have been allocated placement at this hospital, please consider opting to complete it elsewhere! You won't receive a productive or beneficial learning experience here. If you have any areas of difficulty they will highlight and exaggerate this, the expectation is that you are at a qualified nurse level. There is no room for mistakes to be made. They will ensure that you will make significant errors by means of putting you in those situations. They will do the very things they tell you not to do, including confidentiality breeches. If you wish to be bullied, belittled, and told you are incompetent then go to this hospital! Be very careful and weary of this facility. They will lie on forms and deceive your institution regarding your abilities. Avoid this hospital like the plague!

Bad experience ,waiting 4hrs to get X-ray's on knee.Then told by Doc at 6.30pm, their hrs 9to5.Go see your own doctor to make appointment for ultrasound. I was in wheelchair at this time barely able to walk, so with my partner was given the short shift out the door after I refused to BUY crutches for $40.00.nThank you ERH for caring of a pensioner in need.

So true Anonymous Robins, I can completely relate to this, have no plans to work at the hospital based on the student experience.

Waiting in acc/emergency now for 6 hours. Was in here for a routine operation which was botched 9 days ago and now can't get to see anyone about it. Serious infection and swelling/ bleeding accompanied by severe pain and I'm still waiting!.....not happy with the surgeon or the poor aftercare! Wouldn't come back here if it was the only place to go!!! Shockingly bad!

2 1/2 stars really in the paediatrician section
