hospital stay length?

I've heard mixed things. Some people have said "Stay in the hospital as long as you can," to have the nurses help with recovering as much as you can. We found out at our hospital tour (for a vaginal birth with no complications) that the maximum amount of time we will be there is 36 hours. Is this crazy short? How long do you expect to stay in the hospital? I feel like my head is going to spin. Some nurses say that the hospital is under new management and they just want to move people out as fast as they can. Not sure how to feel about it. Any opinions or experiences would be great! Thanks! 😊
