Anybody have any nurse friends who work or have worked there? Wonder how they like it. Wonder if they have their own prn pool of nurses? It looks pretty from the outside. Are there nuns there? It kinda looks like where the flying nun lived. I wouldn't mind fillin' in there once in a while maybe if they'd have me, that is.;-)

When I've been there, there have been no nun sightings, and what seemed to be many very happy employees that seemed to be very satisfied with their jobs. And at least the parts of the hospital that they show the public make it seem like a good work environment.

I always liked seeing nuns at hospitals.
The few times i have been blessed enough to work with any they have been very clean , and that is a very good thang esp. in hospitals.

EVERY experience I've had at Sacred Heart SoWal has been positive (well there seems to be 1 ER doc that's kind of snippy...but ONLY 1). The folks that work there are wonderful & all seem happy in their jobs.

I had to make an ER run last week and was quite pleased w/ Sacred Heart. Took me a couple minutes to figure out the ER was behind the main building, but waited less than 1/2 an hour to be seen for a minor ailment. Admin staff and nurse were very nice and friendly and I felt went out of their way to be helpful.

Nurses rock. ;-)

The emergency room works well for a hospital of such size. I am not sure of the 'level' (seriously doubt level I), but, Sacred Heart does have at least one medical transport helicopter and if things look hairy, you are a quick buzz down the coast from the Pensacola campus, which does have all the advanced care you (hopefully never) need.

What about if someone thinks they're having a heart attack? Where should they go? East to PC? West to Sacred Heart? Or get the ambulance to take you to Pensacola?

Well, if you are having a medical emergency, the first thing you should do is call 911. Help can get to you quicker than you can get to the hospital.

In emergencies here we always drive to the hospital because we're 2 miles away. By the time an ambulance got here, we'd already be checked into the ER.

Which hospital would the ambulance take someone to if s/he were at the beach? Would one have a choice? And if so, which one should be chosen if a heart attack were suspected?
