Hospital Haste
Hospital Hustle is a Time Management game which has you playing as a nurse,
working your way around seven medical centers in the United States of America.
Like other Time Management games, the objective is to tend to your patients
before they run out of patience and leave (with their money, of course).
Patients have heart gauges over them, indicating their health/patience. If all
hearts expire, the patients leave the hospital. Installing decorative upgrades
will hamper their heart decrease rate, like plants, television, water
dispensers, or food stations. Like in real life, some people reach their
limits quicker than others, so you’ll have to be vigilant. If a patient is
running low on health, his/her face pops up in the corner of the screen as a
warning.
To begin a treatment, take the patient to the diagnostics counter (click, drag
and drop). Once diagnosed, the patient will sport a balloon indicating the
next treatment in order, above them. This means utilizing more medical
stations. There is also the need to bring the patient’s chart to the
respective treatment station before treatment can begin. All treatments take
time, and some require additional actions, like making up beds, or providing
medication.
After a while, treatment stations will break down and require repairs, which
can be done by using the wrench available on the main counter. An original
addition, is the ability to send patients to other medical centers by putting
them into an ambulance parked outside, when unable to treat them.
At the beginning of each level, you enter the workshop, where you buy, sell,
and position equipment, thus customizing your workplace. In the expenses tab,
you can adjust the amount of funds invested in special costs like salaries.
Increasing salaries speeds up doctors (of course), and increasing pharmacy
costs speeds up delivery of prescriptions and charts. The coffee bar increases
the coffee power up availability, which speeds your action. Increasing the
maintenance bar decreases the chance of apparel break downs. You can also
change the color of your work attire, which has no purpose but to look
different.
