I’m going to be extremely direct because my family deserves the truth to be heard. My uncle went to Nash General Hospital for help, and instead of receiving real medical care, he was given medication that requires close monitoring — and then they left him completely unattended. At Nash General, he was supposed to be checked on. He was supposed to be watched. He was supposed to be SAFE in a hospital. But they walked away from him and didn’t come back for almost an hour. When they finally decided to check, my uncle had NO pulse. Imagine that — your loved one lying in a hospital room at Nash General Hospital, unmonitored, and by the time someone looks in, he’s pulseless. They had to do CPR to bring him back, but the brain damage was already done. Now he is brain dead, unable to breathe on his own, hooked up to a machine because Nash General Hospital failed to provide basic, standard care that any patient deserves. And now that same hospital is looking at my family and saying we only have 14 days before they expect us to make impossible decisions. We trusted that hospital. We trusted their staff. And they didn’t protect him. They didn’t monitor him. They didn’t treat his life like it mattered. My family is shattered. We are angry. We are heartbroken. And we’re speaking up because nobody’s loved one should be left alone in a hospital bed like that — especially not at a place that claims to care for people. Please keep my uncle and my family in your prayers. This has opened our eyes to how easily a system can fail you, and how fast a hospital like Nash General Hospital can turn a cry for help into a nightmare.”

Took girlfriend here for stroke symptoms. We called the nurse because she developed chest pains, vision problems and difficulty breathing. The nurst pushed the cancel alarm button and closed the door with no comment. Safe to say we will never waste our time in an emergency coming here again.

This hospital is the pits!!😩 I had went there for the first time since I moved to Rocky Mount from Virginia and it was a experience that I never had before at any other hospital in 50 years! My blood pressure was 200/120 and my pulse was 130 and I had to wait 45 mins just for a ekg to see if my heart was working correctly! I then had to wait another hour just to go in a room that didn’t even have a bed in there only a chair for the dr to see me which took another 45 mins and then I was taken to a big room with other sick people in there that was in a bed and some were hooked up to a IV looking like a room where people get chemo treatments or something. I waited there for another hour just to get put back in the same room to get x rays blood and get my heart monitored. Mind you I still had not received any thing to bring my blood pressure down while I waited over 2 hrs! In this room I finally received a IV to receive medication to reduce my blood pressure that was insanely high. I was there another 2 hrs getting my blood pressure and heart monitored to see if the medication was bringing my pressure down. The dr was nice but didn’t check my ears or nose when I expressed my concern about my head and that my sinuses and ears felt clogged and hurt. The very next week I found out that I had an double ear infection when I went to the urgent care! I will drive back to emporia Virginia or go to Wilson or Greenville to a hospital before I come back to the horrible hospital! 🙏🙏🙏

I had to go to the ED. Then spent 6 days. Could not have had better care nothing but the best. Great staff, Dr's, great food. Thanks everyone on the 4th floor.

I was left with an IV starter/connection thing in my arm in the waiting room for hours. Painful in itself. Shouldn’t have been put in that early. My chest pains weren’t addressed, and none of the things I asked for be notated were notated. I was obviously in stage 2 hypertension… for to the stress I told the doctor about…. which should have been noted in the visit summary. All of my symptoms and my blood pressure aligned with stage 2 hypertension. No one followed up to explain the test results at all.

Horrible place

Nash General Hospital in Rocky Mount NC has to be one of the worst places to visit if you need medical attention. I went to this hospital from a head injury at school and when I arrived they did no X-rays. Put 6 stitches in the back of my head and sent me home. I was in bed unable to move because my head was in such pain. A week later I had to return to the hospital due the continuous head pain and Wake Med did X-rays which displayed internal bleeding on the front lobe of the brain. Why is this place still being funded?? Now someone else that we know was in the ER for a said stroke and the staff reports that there are no hospital beds available so they brought a bed to the ER waiting room. Waited over night to see what would happen with no scans or tests run. Sent them home only to be back in the hospital three times within a week. On the third visit to Rex hospital stage 4 is discovered in the lungs. Now in ICU when the severity could have been prevented if someone or everyone did their job on the first visit to Nash General. This is currently under investigation and we will keep you posted with updates on the case. This has to change for sake of people’s well being.

I had a great experience. The staff was fast and helpful. The nurses assigned to me were top notch. I can't speak for everyone, though.
