I have just spent the last seven weeks as a student nurse within ward 8. During this period of time I watched and learned from the staff there. This team really are unsung heros. Every patient was treated with dignity and respect at all times.
Despite the fact that this is one of the largest and busiest wards in the hospital, staff were never too busy to sit and hold someone's hand if they were feeling afraid or lonely. They have a passion for their job and compassion for their patients.
Once in a while, we come across nurses who stand head and shoulders above the rest, Lesley is one of those nurses. Nothing goes overlooked when it comes to patient care, she is diligent, efficient and compassionate.
She delivers proper holistic care to her patients with a smile and a laugh no matter what else may be going on within the ward. It was an absolute privilege to have worked as part of this team and to have had the opportunity to learn from them over the past seven weeks. I give my sincerest thanks.
