It’s not fun to spend a night in the hospital.
How to have to spend a night in hospital
It made me 
How I did it: I had to get my appendix removed when I was 10 years old. I was pretty scared. I had to wait a really long time before they operated on me. The nurses were nice and kept asking questions. The doctor was making bad jokes. They put me to sleep and when I woke up, my appendix was out. They hooked a bunch of stuff to me and were checking on me every few hours. The next day, I choose all of the food I would eat and watched movies. My family came to visit. The last day, the doctor did a check-up and told me I could go home. My parents came for me and that was it.
Lessons & tips: If you're getting your appendix taken out, it will hurt to walk. Trust me.

Not sure why this is a goal…
I got the stomach bug REALLY bad when I was two, ended up dehydrated hooked up to IVs overnight…not a fun experience (anything I remember from when I was two was either really good or really bad) or anything I would wish on others or care to relive.
The second time I was not actually admitted, but my boyfriend had to have surgery, so I stayed overnight with him because he was lonely and in a lot of pain. That I would gladly do for him again if needed, and would definitely have marked this goal “worth doing” if that was my only experience staying overnight in the hospital.
worth doing... but not a goal

I was gonna say that this was not worth doing, but than I thought about it… if you are sick or hurt, than it could save your life, and thus while wanting to go is not a goal, it is worth it to go, to help you get well again.
If I had a choice

I’d choose to never be sick enough to need stay in a hospital ever again.

I’m going to go with “worth it”, if for no other reason than it kept kept me from having to perform a “do-it-yourself” amputation of my lower right arm. The hospital definitely had a better answer and I still have both arms!
(Of slightly lesser importance, there was the time when the hospital kept my heart from stopping. But I’m not sure how I feel about that, yet.)
Also, the food really wasn’t that bad.

Like another poster says, if you get a baby out of it….
LOL I’ve had 12PGS, 9 deliveries (involving the hospital) 7 live births,
of which 6 are presently living, and only 4 @ home!
The other visits were for surgeries and other serious issues-bottom line I was grateful that they were there or…....
