I would like to express compliments for Flo, for covering a ward of 14 patients by herself as a preceptor nurse due to nursing staff absence. Flo has managed the ward incredibly well with confidence and competence, she has managed an admission and several incidents over the weekend and has shown resilience to such a high standard.
Zoe chose this job all the way from Scotland, came to a place she did not know and to work far away from everyone she did know. Zoe continues to demonstrate incredible empathy and resilience in her role at Nield House. She is always a pleasure to work with and is always a great sense of warmth on the ward.
