I am so sorry but I just needed to put this down on paper. My nephew came to this ward yesterday he was transferred down from ICU. Who where very good. On coming to the ward no nurse came to see my nephew no introduction nothing. The bins where still full from the last patient. Medication was left in a bag on the window ledge not checked in by a nurse. No observations done and my nephew is poorly. No one came to see if my nephew needed any pain relief. A nurse or Hca came in the room and just took his tray without asking if he had finished. I had to go and get a jug of water because no one could be bothered to introduce them selves. I have been up all night worried about my nephew and found this very upsetting. I am a nurse and I am a big believer that communication is a very big deal when in hospital. I do hope my nephew will be looked after on this ward but hope to get him home very soon. I understand how much the nurses work hard but there is no excuse for lack of communicating with the patient. Please please do not let this happen to another patient. Very disappointed relative.
