I first met Kadie on my second night in hospital. This was my second night of being awake for 30 hours. She listened to everything I had to say and did help me. The compassion she has is a breath of fresh air. She’s competent and confident in her job role while also being relatable. I mentioned how much pain I was in and she spoke to many people and went above and beyond. She even ran me a bath on labour ward to help my pain. She got a plan for the next day and one I was happy with, so I felt confident and positive.

Kadie looked after me for my 3rd night in hospital too and I’m so grateful for her. After what felt like a year of contractions and being awake for a lifetime, she quickly and promptly helped me while I was in a bad situation. She got me the help I needed, and I believe she saved me and my baby from her actions that third night.

I know personally how hard it is working in a ward and sometimes it’s hard to remember people but I’ll be forever grateful to Kadie and a few others who helped me and my daughter into this world.
