On my ward I was told bluntly I must work faster because it should take me no longer than 10-15 minutes to bath or shower each of my patients including time taken collecting toiletries and clothes and escorting them to the bathroom and back!!! Perhaps we should use rollerblades to get us around the ward quicker. Perhaps we could strap the patients to giant skateboards to make it even faster! Now there's a thought.<br /><br />PS Hope I never have to have surgery after watching a staff nurse larking about play-fighting rolling on the floor in her uniform and then going to tend a patient just back from an operation.

Some of you I can say that I truly am able to relate to you, and some just make me wonder if I can ever relate to the way lots of you feel! In some ways it could be happy but if the feeling isn't really in the happiness stage of things then all I can say is I hope the becoming aware part of things does eventually work out for all of us in the end of things.. But alongside this topic, I love it!

He goes way above and beyond the call of duty. Some of the ward managers on other wards do not inspire their staff in this way.

He does double shifts all the time to avoid staff nurses having to work as the only staff nurse. He's killing himself. <br /><br />He is fighting for more staff, resources, and equipment. All the time. And he shopped the place to the unions etc.<br /><br />The powers that be are supposedly hiring and putting this plan into action and that plan into action. They keep promising it will get better and the unions back off. In some ways it is better, and in some ways it gets worse.<br /><br />I think things are looking up after staffordshire blew up. Suddenly there were jobs advertised for actual real live Nurses.
