Recently, in St Vincent’s Hospital, I was transferred from ED to St Andrews Ward to stay on a trolley in the corridor. The staff there were amazing and could not have done enough – especially Sid/Sean, Ed & Ciara. They introduced themselves, reassured me that I was safe, if I needed anything, just call.
I had a great view of how they treated their patients from the CNM, to staff nurses and catering staff.
They were fantastic with all their patients, no ask was to big or to small and they were engaging.
Kudos to St Vincent’s Hospital, AMU Nurse Practitioner Aisling. I was recently diagnosed with an excessive blood clot, Aisling was open to all my questions and gave me her best & future knowledge.
I felt seen by Aisling and not overlooked, she instilled confidence in my day to day life tasks.

Goes above & beyond her duties and does it all with a smile.
Not only dealing with patients but staff also. Be nice for her to feel appreciated and realise none of what she does goes unnoticed.
Thanks for always been your bubbly helpful self.

thanks so much to all the nurses of the world. So much of what you do behind the scenes go unnoticed!
I’ll never forget when my little sister told us she’d done CPR for the first time when she started working in a hospital. Thank you to her and all the other nurses like Lea who demonstrate compassion, perseverance, and care when people need it the most.
Thank you to all of the nurses. Because of you we live in a happier and healthier world.
I have so much admiration for nurses, not only for their medical skills but for their kindness and humanity. I’ve seen how much of a difference those small, caring moments can make. I remember when my grandfather had surgery and was feeling scared and emotional — a nurse bent the rules so both his granddaughters could go in and comfort him. Another time, when my sister was in labor during COVID and couldn’t have anyone with her, a nurse quietly let me in for five minutes because she knew how much she needed it.
These moments might seem small, but they mean everything. They show that nursing is not just a profession, but a deeply human act of care, empathy and compassion.
Thank you to all the incredible nurses for going beyond what’s expected and for making such a difference in people’s lives every single day!!
