i highly doubt it. maternity wards have strict security measures to protect the babies. people steal and switch babies. i would feel uncomfortable knowing that a volunteer is holding my newborn. what if you drop a baby? im sure the hospital would be help responsible. i don't think a hospital even needs an extra person floating around just to hold babies. the mommies and daddies are there for that.

Usually a regular hospital. They may be put directly in the Psych Ward or they might have to spends some time in Intensive Care depending on their condition. Usually they are in there for a just few days or weeks. Usually it is the psychiatrist's decision how long they stay. They see a psychiatrist everyday, go to group therapy, and spend a lot of time sitting around watching TV or doing puzzles. Sometimes they are provided with things to color or paint. Sometimes they can cook some treats. Some hospitals have other things to do. Generally they are allowed to see family and maybe even friends during visiting hours. Young children are often not allowed in. Clergy can come talk to them if they ask for spiritual services.

I worked at a large hospital in Texas and we rarely had people dying daily. Most of the ones that died were older people with terminal diseases. There were many weekends that there were no deaths in the ER.

Defiantly, I was considering going into physical therapy and that’s what they suggested. It gets you used to the environment because nothing else really compares to it.

I actually couldn't find a law directly on point skimming over TX statutes. The underlying issue seems to be why the bill was not delivered in a timely manner.

For example, the process may be different if the hospital issued a bill on day 45, but it was never received, versus if the hospital sent the first bill on day 100 (not common in the industry I assure you). Assuming the hospital is familiar with your insurer and their policies, they should have handled the matter.

What you probably need to do next is get a full accounting from the hospital as to what invoices were sent to whom when. Based on that, its possible this may end up in court, where you and/or your insurer sue the hospital.

Other thoughts? How far past the 95 day limit were they? If only a few days, I would consider appealing the insurers decision, especially if you have proof external factors delayed the bill.

you can work in housekeeping, dietary or as a CNA if you are licensed(you must be at least 16 to become a certified nurse aide). there are also jobs in the gift shop, rentals and usually in the administrative offices. there are a lot of jobs in a hospital that do not require a medical license.
