Unfortunately, I had to spend time in UHNBC from May 26 to June 5 of this year.
But my reason for admission is not why I am writing this letter.
Also, I want to say that I am a retired nurse, spending 25 years as an RN in UHNBC.
While on the surgical ward, I had the pleasure of being cared for by students. I thought they were third-year students as their care and knowledge was at such an advanced level. To my surprise they were finishing their second year.
Why am I writing this opinion is that there has been, and rightly so, a lot of negative articles about our health care system failing. It seems everyone has a tale to tell for themselves or a family member.
But having these students help me during my stay has given me hope for the future.
You all have a big job ahead of you. Thank you, students, with all my heart.
Sharon Clements, Prince George
