Abstract

It is my first day at a new job and I have made it to what I call the 'handover' room. It was a challenge to find my way to the hospital, let alone here. As usual for me, I am the first person to arrive – I like to be early when I am starting somewhere new. I am nervous and my heart is pounding. I find a spare chair and I try to sit comfortably but am on the edge of my seat. People start trickling in, some in pairs or groups, others on their own. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The year was 2011 and I had returned to work in my home city of Melbourne, Australia, after a stint nursing in the UK. A child had been medically reviewed after presenting to the emergency department with a mild head injury and was deemed safe for discharge home. I can't remember why, but I thought this patient should stay in hospital for observation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
