Battlefield nurse from Ireland who helped to save many lives

FED up with hanging around in A&E? That’s because you’ve been given a low priority triage rating. And you’ve got a Limerick woman to thank for it. Enter A&E at University Hospital Limerick today, and you will be assessed by the triage nurse and assigned a priority rating that ensures life-threatening conditions are seen first.
The hospital uses the Manchester triage model with colour-coded categories ranging from 1-5. If you are given a red Triage 1 you will be seen immediately; an orange Triage 2 within 10 minutes; however, should you be assigned a blue Triage 5, prepare yourself for a four-hour wait.
