"Stand out nurse"

About: Geraldton Hospital / General Ward

(as the patient),

Been in on medical ward for a couple of days, and service has been amazing, drs and nurses I dealt with are all great but one nurse stood out in particular Caitlin (sorry if spelling is wrong) is absolutely amazing, I believe goes above and beyond for patients and even is someone who you can have a laugh with.

Caitlin definitely made my hospital stay less dim and dismal and she lightens the room (literally by opening blinds, though she always asks first) just by being herself. It seems she truly is empathetic towards patients and is not a nurse that is going to be forgettable.

I grew up in and out of hospitals and nurses like Caitlin are a rarity, a real gem so from the bottom of my heart (and my stolen arm), thank you Caitlin for being you.
