nursing used to be a vocation not a career

Vocational jobs are not fit for purpose. Careers and decent T & C's are the way forward. Nursing has this already. I think the problem with nursing is that everyone wants to be a specialist & no one wants to do the 'traditional' nursing work.

I know what you mean, to a degree.

My mum was a nurse for a long time (in fairness this was in NI at the height of the troubles) and she worked and studied extremely hard, I know she didn't get paid for all the hours she put in.

You would think they could support student nurses for those two years if they agreed to work for HSE etc for a certain number of years after qualifying etc.

But how do you ensure they do work for the certain number of years? How do you ensure they don't spend those years sat on their hole eating bickies? And what do you do when they send you a postcard from Sydney?

I remember a caller on liveline a while back who was training as a nurse.

As part oftheir training they need to do work experience, She maintains that she were earning less than minimum wage.

The nurses need to be paid what they are worth. No more and no less. I don;t know what that is but they should.

The work experience is training though, just not in a lecture hall/classroom environment. There has to be a large practical element to their training.

Teachers have to undertake teaching practice while studying - no payment there either.

Years ago when I did my master's through work I had to sign a contract to say I would stay in org for 2 years after completing, or I would have to pay back fees.
Something like that maybe.

Yes, and we know what "ears" is an anagram of.

Through the taxation system some way.

Would you rather the nurses/doctors/cleaners/porters did the administration work instead?

You've made it to 3pm most days, and on the days you don't, Darcy will wake you up by pressing the wrong buttons.

Joe just loves showing off to Darcy his command of de buttons.

Which works fine in a profitable company where there are 50 employees to one HR manager, but how do you enforce that with 20,000 nurses?

If they agree to stay for say, four years, after qualifying, they could be lightly taxed for that period.
Rather that, than punishing with extra tax if they come back, because that would just be an extra factor weighting them to stay abroad.

Nurses already do a ****tonne of admin, indeed there are plenty of desk bound nurses on huge money.



Porters shouldn't exist, the well run private hospitals don't have them.


Health Care Assistants do the real messy work nurses believe themselves to be above, but on the radio nurses pretend they don't exist.

You spoke too soon. He's an expert at this. If there is one there, he'll find it.
