It really is time the governing bodies of this nation stood up and recognised that the people “in the trenches” of our workforce deserve proper conditions. If you are not going to fund basic services in order to improve conditions, at least give them the incentive to stay on and continue to do the job you refuse to make doable for them.
Without nurses the medical and hospital system will stop dead in its tracks. Give as the right working conditions and pay to make us perform at our peak before we loose our nurses
We need the people on the ground; be it in health, education, services or the private sector, to feel they are valued and appreciated. It is the crux of doing your job well.
When a civilisation loses sight of it’s basic responsibility to adequately care for it’s sick and injured, then it is embarking on a journey across a very slippery slope indeed. Unfortunately we seem hellbent to follow the US of A down the ‘user pays’ route on health care and bad luck for all those in the community who can’t afford private health cover. Health Care and Education are the cornerstones of our civilisation. This plea goes out to our governments to remediate this situation and PAY NURSES AND TEACHES A WAGE COMMENSURATE WITH THE INTRISIC IMPORTANCE OF THEIR POSITIONS IN OUR CIVILISATION!!
As someone that is now retired from nursing I would like to know just how many MPs would do some of the jobs that nurses do on a daily basis, and do with a smile and kind word for the patients they are caring for. Nurses are dedicated, hard working and caring people, its about time they were paid what they are worth.
I spent 3 months in hospital back in 1990, nurses looked after me the entire time. I’ll help them out by putting my name down here.
Also, my Auntie is a nurse. Don’t mess with my family!!
Hospitals would fall apart with out nurses. They deserve more than they bare geating. I say some CEO’s should donate afraction of their pay to help the real workers of teh community. By the way I am not a nurse but a teacher who feels we are the blood brother career to nurses who are also falling apart bue to the unrealistic expectations of the system and the pressure fromn the parents and society.
nurses do a great job and deserve any cent they get and deserve more we would not survive with out them they need our communitys to get behinde them just as they do when we need them dont let us loose our great nurses join the fight now
Nurses rock. More loadings for night duty.
Nurses are the most patient of people but still that patience must be exhausted at some point. It is all good to comment on the health system when you are healthy but when you or one of your loved ones are in hospital it is the public face of hospitals (nurses) that can make an obviously unpleasant stay bearable. Good luck in getting fairer working hours and conditions.
