Most Impressed as a patient (future nurse)

[sydneymum14]

Hi All lovely Aussie nurses. I am an AIN community nurse and I've just been to RNSH private for a colonoscopy+gastroscopy procedure and was most impressed with the nursing I recieved.

I took great note of everything that was done and said as I am a 1st year student for the Bof Nursing. The nursing was mainly done by an EEN but there were a couple of AIN's, another EEN and a RN as well...I didn't need very much nursing but they were all competent and relaxed and there when I needed them.

Hooray for RNSH private and Hooray for Aussie nurses in general.:heartbeat:yeah:

Great to hear some positive feedback for all the work we do! I'm glad ur procedures went well.

Good luck with the studies too.

North Shore Private is a fantastic hospital, I think. At least, I did a two week clinical there on the cardiothoracic unit and it was brilliant. The staff had a fantastic attitude toward students, the care they delivered was brilliant, the staff are treated wonderfully by Mr. Ramsay (despite the lesser rates of pay in private hospitals) and it's a lovely setting. Best clinical I've ever had.

Yes am trying to finish post grad dip studies in mental health, but have had many bad things happen which got me down. However I am looking 4ward to 2011 & trying to stay positive, but also looking to get out of bedside nursing soon too. I find running around for 10 hours without a break, & all the different shifts, too hard on my body now I'm older.
