Just had a very frustrating time trying to get my mother who has cancer and not been well for the last few days into hospital. Last night I encountered a very cold nurse who kept stonewalling me and didn't even ask one question about my mother. She was more interested in making it very clear to me that there were more beds available.
I know there are still lovely, caring and very dedicated nurses out there. But since it became a profession requiring a 3rd level degree it also seems to have attracted people who really don't seem to be suited to the job and treat patients and their families as a nuisance.
