Maybe a nursing job isn't for you - career nurse

Thinking of being a nurse?
A lot of nurses aim for a career in nursing for the vocation and job satisfaction, not the pay. You knew the average salary and expected pay wasn't up to much, so don't moan about it later on.

I have been a nurse for the past 16 years and I am sick and tired of these nurses who are university trained and think they are immune from certain duties such as changing beds and washing/dressing patients etc.

| 15-4-2008 | Jonny's anger is miss placed at nurses. It should be turned on to the bean counters who got in to health care in the 90's after getting laid off from there jobs. Most nurses I believe are there because they want to do the right thing. It is this business model that has gotten us into trouble...more | Battered Nurse |
| 23-3-2008 | Yes a lot of student nurses do struggle to make ends meet, however the bursary is higher than any other course, so it attracts the wrong type of people into the NHS who have had a braincell then it would be dangerous, get rid of the managers I say as it is them who are bringing the NHS down, one I s...more | Jonny |
| 07-3-2008 | that's because they get a grant and tuition fees paid for them. | senchi |
| 27-2-2008 | Boab, are you a nurse or lecturer?
All my bursary paid for was childcare. No hand outs! I spent two years paying off my credit card so laughable I'm splitting my sides.
Drop out rate is unacceptable but these also include course failures. Many students drop out through family life pressures. O...more | Jackie |
| 25-2-2008 | Jackie,
I am glad you made it. You are one of the very very few who go through the training that ever come out the other side and actually do the job. Too many want the cash on the way through. Not sure where you got your debt from. In Scotland, fees are paid, bursary is handed out, money given f...more | boab |
| 20-2-2008 | Let me introduce myself. I'm the new generation lazy incompetent bug spreading university trained nurse everyone on here seems to loathe or despair of. I have been qualified for 2 years and love what I do, including all aspects of patient care (yes I do actually touch/feed/bathe/care for patien...more | Jackie |
| 14-2-2008 | God bless you for your comments we patients would love to see the old Matron back on the ward we would also like to see in house cleaners that clean up properly rather than a quick rub round in the time allocated and be there for spills and other unpleasant messes
I can only assume government ( Al...more | Roger |
| 25-1-2008 | I'll tell you why I think a lot of them do it. Because unlike any other University students in the land, they get PAID to go to Uni. Nice big fat bursaries that they get even when they're off. Beats Income support! | boab |
| 25-1-2008 | The mistake was to transfer training from the hospitals to the so called universities.At one time all training was done in the hospital and you were employed by them,if you attitude or skills were not up to it based on regular ward reports you were out on your ear. You also worked hours that covered...more | Duncan |
| 25-1-2008 | I had to get blood taken this afternoon, which is something that always makes me feel faint. The nurse who did it was amazing and certainly wasn't a new generation uni nurse. She was old school and seemed strict yet able to put me at ease enough that I wasn't shaken like usual. She had amazi...more | Delighted Patient |
| 25-1-2008 | To NHS sucks, that sounds like some hospital you work In, typical NHS, not all Nurses are the same, however the next generation of nurses who are Uni trained scares me, as this sounds like the only kind of nurse you are going to come across in the next 30 years, I have adopted a non-care approach fo...more | Jonny |
| 24-1-2008 | What a complete shower! You are quite right, always moaning about not being paid enough.
Tell them they are all going to lose their job as there are peple out there willing to do it for a fraction of the wage and with more enthusiasm and pride.
This just may give them somethin' to moan a...more | Camberlin |
