Hi guys,

 

I don't normally do this, but read a great article on what it takes a to be nurse at Great Ormond Street Hospital on The Independent website. Check it out here

 

"By lunchtime Melissa Strickland has seen every child on Koala Ward, found beds for new patients and reassured a string of worried patients.

She is a ward sister at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and since 7.30am, when she started her shift, she has been responsible for children being treated for epilepsy, complex craniofacial syndromes, neuromuscular disorders and spinal cord abnormalities.

“The resilience of children is spectacular. I never ever, ever get bored here. There is always a challenge and it sounds really mushy but it’s very healing working here,” she says.

“You see another side of life. When you go home you see people rushing to get on the Tube being grumpy about their bit of space, but there’s another side to life.”"

 

 

I thought some of you would appreciate reading this, especially @Cleoriff and @Anonymous.

I have the upmost respect for the people that work there and their contribution to helping poorly children is something that blows my mind every time I hear about it. I'm not sure if I could do the job. They are some of the strongest people I read about and it must be a terribly hard job, but a rewarding one.
