It's a shame as St.Marks could seriously do with some decent and more caring nurses. My mum was there for about 5 weeks in July and August & while the nurses in the ward on one floor were nice, the nurses in the ward where she was for most of the time were not nice at all. They were mostly ignored when they buzzed for needing help with something, were not talked to in a nice manner- in fact they were spoken to like a badly beahved child! One fellow patient had buzzed 3 times, was crying in pain and was still ignored so my mum buzzed for her as well. My mum needs to go back there for a further op in a month or two and is praying that she doesn't have to go to the same ward again. I know it isn't an easy job being a nurse and they have long shifts, but I don't think it's on to take it out on patients who aren't well. The nurses in the local hospital where my mum went first were lovely, so why can't they have been in that ward in St.marks?
