My daughter was admitted at 3 weeks old to the short stay ward in the royal hospital Belfast. There was a student nurse there called ciara who went above and beyond to assist my daughter in feeding whilst taking my feelings into consideration.
My daughter had to then be NG tube fed and ciara placed the tube ever so carefully whilst constantly observing her work and how I was during the process. Ciara def made my time there a lot more comforting knowing she was going to be on duty to care for my daughter I felt so comfortable in her presence.
Katie. Laura and Briege from short stay ward were also amazing in caring for my daughter….. I was able to go get coffee whilst Laura looked after my daughter who I trusted while heartily. Briege then took my little one all night to let me rest after I took an infection in my womb which was greatly appreciated and Katie was amazing in her daily care. The staff at the short stay ward are nothing short of miracle workers and their care and compassion was next to none
