Default Private nurse for Lenox Hill Hospital?

I think I saw in a few posts that people have recommended hiring a private nurse while at Lenox Hill Hospital, to ensure that the patient receives all the ordered medications.

Did I read this correctly? Is this a common practice in the US? I don't think I have ever heard of it being done here in Canada, although I sure could have used it a few times, with the care or lack of it at the time.

So what would this nurse do? Does she/he have any control over overdue medications, etc? I would be very happy to do this if necessary.
