"bullying staff nurse on ward 33"

About: University Hospital (Coventry)

I also had a bad experience of a staff nurse on ward 33. I had recently been diagnosed with cancer and had been taken into hospital as an emergency from side effects of my chemotherapy. This nurse was rude, uncaring and totally unpleasant. The consultant was fantastic, I couldn't have wished for better care from him. Also the rest of the staff were excellent. It was just this one person who made my stay very unpleasant. I am due to return to University hospital shortly for an operation and if I even see this woman I will not be intimidated this time. I intend to make a complaint about her when my treatment is finished. This hospital and consultants and most of the staff are excellent but this one bad apple spoilt everything
