Re: Past and present nurses, do you agree with the RCN?
If nurses do not have the ppe they need then I think they should not treat patients until it is available. Any other industry and if someone did not have the protective gear to keep them safe and people would be up in arms about it - why should nurses be any different. If a nurse gets ill through doing her job then there must be some responsibility on someone or the organisation for allowing her to work unprotected. I speak as a person who has worked in the NHS for many years and I do understand the hazards that often go with the job. We should protect our nurses and not expect them to put their lives on the line. The job is often unpleasant and dangerous enough IMO.Re: Past and present nurses, do you agree with the RCN?
You are there to serve. It is what nurses have historically done through many difficult times over the yearsRe: Past and present nurses, do you agree with the RCN?
Well ... you could say, quite right ... don't treat a patient if you have no gear to keep yourself safe. In a way I don't blame them.Re: Past and present nurses, do you agree with the RCN?
I understand the Nightingale Pledge but surely this pledge does not mean that a nurse should give up his/her own life for that of their patient..does it?Re: Past and present nurses, do you agree with the RCN?

If I was nursing and didn't have the necessary mask at this unprecedented time when the whole world is short of protective equipment I would make my own.
