From previously working in a hospital myself and a few family members being nurses,the hours are the only problem with nursing,they are well paid for what they do.

There are vast hours spent drinking coffee and eating biscuits and thats a fact.

What hospital was that? Cause thats not the majority of wards. That is a fact.

Nurses.

They don't even wear the skirts and the little funny hats anymore.

What the fuk is a vast hour? Anyway, you saw them going on their tea/coffee breaks and lunches, which they require in order to do their job, often a lengthy shift, properly.
Or maybe your family members don't pull their weight as nurses, but mine sure as hell did.

Underpaid: Everyone who works in retail dealing with customers first hand.
Done it once for about 6-7 months, will never ever do it again.

Oh where to start. Your daughter is either working in a place where the nurses are extremely lazy or you're full of shiite. As for for healthcare assistants being underpaid and nurses overpaid?
I told this before, I was working on a ward, not too long ago. My wage per hour was €14 an hour flat, time and a quarter on a Sunday. All but none of the HCAs and domestic staff on that ward earned more than me. I could be working on that ward as the only nurse, with 5 HCAs and two domestic staff and if anything went wrong, the buck stopped with me. It was my PIN number gone whilst being the lowest paid member if staff, I had all the responsibility. And that wouldn't be a solitary case.

I don't know your daughter's situation Sir, but your notion of front line staff in a hospital is severely skewed.

Well I regularly visited a family member who landed herself in hospital a while back and on every visit the nurses I saw hardly had a moment spare. In spite of this they were friendly and professional.
Methinks you talk out of your arse.

And I'm gonna get a post in now before people who think they know everything about the health service get tired of nurse bashing and decide they now know everything about the education sector to bash teachers.

dont think its the majority maybe its just you and your two family members who are too lazy to attend to the sick people on your wards and only work for half your shifts.

i dont know what hospitals these nurses are in but ive spent a lot of time in hospital over the last few years and theres no money you could pay me that would make me do the work they do. there are definitely some nurses who work harder than others but overall the things they do and have to put up with from abusive patients etc is incredible

Monster229 · 03-09-2013 10:40PM

I wouldn't work in a hospital for any money, those nurses are underpaid bloody saints.

try working your full shift rather than half of it like you stated in previous posts. no wonder the health system is f@cked when there are people like you working in it boasting about only working 6 hours in a 12 hour shift along with two of your family in the same hospital you refuse to name.

wp_rathead · 03-09-2013 10:51PM

Very shocked at your view of nurses Sir Humphrey - i agree with you in many of the threads in AH but for you to come out and refer to nurses as "pillow puffers with a degree who get the nations undying thanks and an inflated salary" is stunning..

don't get me wrong, i agree that care assistants are ridiculously underpaid but for you to swipe at nurses is just inexcusable

funny how those who look after people (nurses, child care, care assistants, social care practitioners) get a pittance in relation to those who look after money (bankers, stock brokers, other financial dudes)

Ah you're a nut job. Ask your daughter about info on getting your head checked. Actually don't. That'd be a waste of some poor aul nurses time. Can't be taking them away from their chocolates I suppose.
