Lack of Nurses now at dangerous level


Recommended Posts

40,000 Nursing Vacancies. The figure has doubled since 2013. And is now at dangerous levels. Lots of Money being wasted on Agency nurses.

 

Speculation on ITV News says it's down to unprecedented levels of stress, fall in wages in real terms, and lack of burseries.

 

No doubt the Tories will tell you x amount of money has gone into the NHS, so what's gone wrong? Once again the figures just don't add up...

Ordinary jobs aren't exciting enough for a lot of kids, (although I think nursing is exciting.) And forget vocational jobs.

 

Big money has corrupted a lot of their ideas about the real world.

 

It's a big problem.

It is the lowest form of wit.

The level of stress on the wards is horrendous. Can't see why anyone would want to be a nurse, it's all stress, paperwork and covering your back against potential complaints.
