I recently attended A&E with my partner (in his 20s) who was having issues with his heart. It was my first time in A&E so I was very overwhelmed and terrified for my partner.
When he was admitted into minors, the Nurses were all rushed off their feet as it was the wee hours of Saturday morning, and my partner had to wait 8 hours to see a Doctor.
During this wait the Nursing Assistants were a god send. They kept checking in on my partner and me to make sure we were both okay. They were so cheery, compassionate and comforting that it made the wait a little bit more bearable.
I can't express enough gratitude to them and I wish I could remember their names to thank them individually. They have such a relentlessly stressful job, yet their care and the smile on their faces never wavered.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
