Hutt Hospital's Emergency Department Triage Nurse
After a recent experience in Hutt Hospital's Emergency Department, Lisa sent us a message about her encounter with a triage nurse.
"I wanted to let the triage nurse know that she is making a massive difference," Lisa said.
While Lisa was waiting, she watched the nurse handle many situations.
A moment that stood out to Lisa was when the nurse resuscitated a patient and calmed their family afterwards.
"She repeatedly demonstrated mana and was so respectful and caring."
"When she assessed me, she spoke so no one else could hear, even though I didn’t ask her to do this. She just knew."
