I stood on a nail at work, it went through the bottom of my foot, causing an open bleeding wound. I was advised by medical staff I would need to go to A&E. I was in pain while walking and thought I was in for a lengthy wait at the ED department. Luckily I was seen quickly by a staff nurse (Vikki) who assessed my wound, redressed it and gave me a tetanus injection. She took the time to explain the signs and symptoms I should look out for if the wound was to become infected. I felt she took great care of me while I was in the department, made me feel completely at ease, she was professional, had a great attitude and was an excellent nurse.
"An excellent nurse"
