"Excellent care in ward 2"

I was admitted to ward 2 in Monklands Hospital with suspected meningitis, it was quite late at night when I arrived on the ward, I was greeted by a wonderful nurse named Grace who went above and beyond to get me settled into a room and put my mind at ease as I was worried about what tests I had to get. Grace explained to me what the plan would be for the following day regarding tests and procedures and that she would be checking on me every 2 hours during the night as I had told her how anxious I was, I was given a buzzer to press and told to never hesitate to use it if I was in pain or needed anything, pain was a big issue that night but nurse Grace made sure I was given the pain killers prescribed to me, very promptly when I asked for them and thankfully it kept me comfortable till the morning. I must also give a special mention to another nurse named Jane (light blue uniform) both these ladies made a very difficult time for me so much more bearable, from being transferred so late at night to making sure I was kept comfortable till the morning and taking time to explain to me about my suspected condition. Nurses like these are a credit to the NHS and worth their weight in gold. Thankfully I never had meningitis, I had a viral illness, and was discharged 2 days later. All in all the care in ward 2 is second to none and the nursing staff who I came in contact with were wonderful
