Re: What a sad state of affairs
Thats terrible, my nephew reckons its because they all have degrees and dont come in at the bottom of the job like they used to. He briefly went out with a young lady who was a newish nurse, chatting to her i can well imagine what you say. She was absolutely shocked coming in from university what she was being asked to do daily, she thought from what she said it woud be far more like a doctor role, standing at bottom of bed offering advice and prescribing.Re: What a sad state of affairs
That is very true, Julie.Re: What a sad state of affairs
This is, once again, a way of saving money. They give nurses a university qualification, which nurses never needed in the past, and then expect them to do some of the work that doctors used to do.Re: What a sad state of affairs
The one nurse who always sticks in my mind was a male. I'd had gall bladder surgery and in them days was always violently sick after GA (now all held at bay with proper drugs!). He not only patiently sat on the bed beside me, holding the paper receptable, but also held me against him, to comfort me.Re: What a sad state of affairs

A bit off topic but I`m sat here thinking back to time passed.Re: What a sad state of affairs
Yes, flowers certainly brightened up a ward as well as the person they were intended for.
