Seems to be a shortage of Urology nurses.

"Seems to be a shortage of Urology nurses."

About: The Townsville Hospital

(as the patient),

It seems to me that a hospital as large and operated by such dedicated staff that there seems to be only one urology nurse for the entire hospital. I am so fortunate to have Julie attend to my problems while under such stress, without complaint, and a work list as long as your arm. Surely for the good of all patients she could be given at least two assistants to train as to ease the work load and keep up the good standing of this wonderful hospital of ours. I hope this reaches the proper eyes and someone can act. ...l would welcome a discussion with anyone should they wish.

Here's hoping! ! ! Loyal but concerned patient.
