"What I value most is the privilege of being part of someone’s journey, particularly at a time when they may feel at their lowest. Nursing is not just about tasks or routines; it is about compassion, patience, understanding and advocating for people when they cannot always advocate for themselves." - Onyinyechukwu Okoh, Staff Nurse, Ocean View.
"Being present, offering consistency, and seeing someone regain hope, confidence, or stability is incredibly fulfilling. Those moments reinforce the value of compassionate, person-centred care. This ongoing privilege of supporting people through some of the most challenging periods of their lives is what reaffirms my commitment to mental health nursing." - Delina Mapp, Interim Ward Manager, Mother and Baby Unit.
"I have the privilege of providing nursing support at often the most challenging and emotional of times in their lives which can make a real difference to families. It is also very humbling to get to know family’s strength and resilience which is often incredible." - Lisa Pullen, Operational, Clinical and Professional Lead for the Community Children’s Nursing Pathway.
