A patient told me how he takes his tea and how he often takes it in the middle of the night as part of his daily routine. I made a note of the time and made sure that at 3am when he woke up I had a cup of tea ready for him. Person centred care is an honour and a pleasure to give.

Holby City is so fake. An admissions nurse handing over to another admissions nurse to take a break saying she’s up to date once bed 3’s obs are done. As an admissions nurse, I don’t know what being up to date feels like but I’d imagine it feels like getting married.

Just like that, another adventure comes to a close! I’m so grateful for the knowledge, experience and friendships I’ve made in my time during critical care. I learned ITU nursing also wasn’t for me and that’s ok too! I did it😄 now ITU ➡️ ED 🎉

Two very important and special things happened to me today. I interviewed for and got a new job, but most important of all a new @FiveGuysUK opened near to me that’s close enough for Deliveroo to deliver to me 🍔

Today a patient called me over, when I asked how I could help they said they wanted to introduce me to their partner and then told their partner that I had taken excellent care of them. It was an amazing feeling! A simple thank you can make a working day absolutely incredible

@Medic_Russell I once held a patient’s hand as they crashed. I kept asking him his blood type, but he just kept telling me to “be positive”. I’ll never forget him, he wasn’t even my patient... he was the doctor. That nurse grew up to be Jennifer Anniston. It’s true, I was the AED
