Having recently been diagnosed with cancer I have been attending various appointments, all very scary and worrying. I was called into the Trauma Assessment Unit very unexpectedly recently.
On arrival I was met by nurse Terri. She immediately put me at my ease explaining why I had been called in. ( This should have been explained when I was phoned to attend this out of the blue appt, which would have prevented 36hrs of worrying) .
Terri was attentive throughout with her caring, warm and empathetic manner. We saw this in all her interactions with everybody. Although busy , she kept us updated with what was happening. She uses her humour in a very positive way, making us all laugh but never in an inappropriate way. She certainly is a credit to her profession.
"A caring, warm and empathetic nurse"
