Jeez, I wish I could have had you as a nurse during any of my hospital stays. I’ve had long (months) stays in 5 UK hospitals so far and the nurses (day or night) have all been ignorant and lazy at worst or incompetent and actively unkind at worst. Standing around on the ward, complaining to each other about their job as if the patients weren’t actually live, listening people. I know here isn't the place for my personal experiences and bitterness but the more I read about how you view your role as a nurse, the more I say, eh?!! Why haven’t I ever experienced a nurse like this?! I tell a lie. There was one nurse at Salford Royal who was wonderful. Caring and so kind to me but the rest have been absolute nasty
witches.
Again, sorry. I know no one likes moaning and bitterness...
