What I liked
One or two of the nurses were excellent , showing they did actually care .
But this was only two out of say ten .
What could be improved
When i was at my lowest point under chemo , one of the so called nurses , would slam her trolley into my door like a battering ram to gain entry,making me nearly jump through the roof , she would then order me to raise my arm,but when i said i couldn't because i was in pain ,she would grab it roughly and yank it up to take my blood pressure .
It was treat like i was an object not a person .
It makes you wonder how many other patients this nurse is treating like this but they are either too sick or too old to complain about her .
Surely there must be ways of weeding out these uncaring nurses .
Anything else?
There should be some way for patients to report nurses who do not treat them properly or do not wash hands etc when treating patients .
When i wanted to report this nurse for her behavior i was told i needed to report her to the staff nurse,who i was told was her best friend .
