Nurse found dead.

So having heard the interview of the the Australian DJ's, they did seem genuinely distraught and contrite. For what it is worth I thought the girl was very respectful about how she referred to the family and never made it all about herself. The radio station apparently called the hospital 5 times for permission, the hospital claimed they didn't. The Samaritans have further entered the fray by saying that one upsetting episode will rarely be the reason why someone commits suicide, it is normally a combination of events. Either way what really sticks with me, it that that poor nurse must have been feeling so devastated, for whatever reasons to take her own life. Also no reflection on her family or friends either. Someone who is really in that dark a place can sometimes go beyond the helping hands offered by those close to them.

Also, she is of a nationality that takes 'shame' to a very high level. It may have felt much worse to her because she may have felt she had shamed herself or her family. Just speculation, of course, but it may have been a contributing factor. So tragic.
 
:( RIP that nurse probably had more on her mind then other new about and for sake of a joke she paid the highest price I feel so soorry for her hubby and children they are the victims in this sad ordeal
 
As a Nurse i am all too aware of the blame culture which increasingly prevails in the NHS and can only assume the poor Nurse was reprimanded and she could not live with the shame.It is such a tragic case and i do feel for the silly DJ's who could not have foreseen this dreadful consequence of their prank.It is apparent that the hospital had no policies and procedures around dealing with the media and high profile patients. Also the Nurse was standing in on the switchboard and was probably trying to put through calls quickly,as would be expected of her.i am afraid the hospital bears some responsibility,and given the huge media interest,they should have ensured she had support,given she was miles from home and very alone at the time.

I agree with there being more to this than we are being told. You're also right by saying the media is far too quick to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Please don't shoot me down, but I think it was a selfish thing to do. Two children have been left without a mother. If she couldn't sort herself out, then why did she not think of them?

What a waste of life.

Rest in peace.

Love my lurcher,people do think about their loved ones before they kill themselves and they often believe they will be better of without them. Suicide is a tragic end of a life and it is often very complicated by a number of factors,compounded by strong feelings of hopelessness and despair.Suicides kill themselves because they believe that is their only way out of a very dark place which no treatment has alleviated for that person.I am sure the Nurse had ruminated about everything before she took her life and in her state of despair her thoughts were probably beyond reason.I have dealt with many suicidal patients and some of these poor souls cannot envisage any rational reason to live. Not a very good place to be.
 
It's so tragic that a practical joke apparently lead to the death of the nurse who took the call.

My heart really goes out to her family although, I can't help but think there must have been other contributing factors and the prank was the straw that broke the camels's back

RIP
 
Its just an awful awful situation all round.
Of course first thoughts lie with the family, but at the same time i can t help but feel for the dj.s.
When they were sat obviously devastated for the family, i could nt help think that there must be someone else watching the same interview who was relieved to see them shouldering the blame. I don t think that the nurse would have done what she did if she had the support and care of the people who should have been there for her.
so so sad.

Total agreement here Wundahorse.

My first thought on hearing the new was, I bet her first language wasn't British. I feel sorry for her family it must be awful for the children, but there is more to this than meets the eye I'm sure, and the pranksters should not be persecuted.
