Sick and tired of Govts and public not understanding if we dont get paid for our hours, already having trouble getting meals paid when worked through so imagine what will happen when Nurses dont turn up to work with increased sickleave etc. Us older Nurses are seriously telling younger generations to preserve their health and get a job which pays you properly we have worked in the system and only get a piddle pay rise then we get a Govt lump sum and thats taken away with Tax and CPD lurks. Nurses know scams when they see it.
the standards and the Nurses are slipping and huge errors will occur in the future. Its not just about Money its about maintaining standards
they are being eroded we are back at 1980 before we fought the Govt. we have lost it all pretty much. Just go to work in a Hospital Public sector and you will see the cleaning clerical non patient work being performed by Nurses and whats worse is little patient contact left.
Standards, Hours and I have been told the SEN Endorsed are replacing Div 1 Nurses

As a Registered Nurse, I have very little in common with cleaners, gardiners,kichen, or maintainence workers. At present, I can move freely between the branches of nursing for a wage commisserate with my qualifications and skill. Under this proposal, I think there is a very great danger of down grading the skills and input of Registered Nurses. There may be an exodus of RNs from aged care.
