Nursing is it just a mugs game?

Can't understand why anyone would do it. Crap money, crap working conditions. get out quick and get something much higher paid and more respected.

you are not alone! many people aren't happy with their job!

Go into nursing because you want to help - not for the pay.... You need to try working in a job that doesnt get the respect that nurses get.... That really annoying.

yeah those are the same reasons i told my younger sister not to it but she still did it!! she started her uni this year and is currently doing her training!

Yep But we do it anyway!

It's a calling and very well respected by politicians of all persuasions. Just don't ask for more money or better conditions.

Having worked with the nursing profession for many years commercially, I know from an outsider view what a nurse has to put up with. ,At the present time, many trusts are not having availability of post for trained nurses, so, when a nurse leaves training which is a very hard slog,!! they have have to scramble around for a job,in that respect that is a Mugs Game,Mr Brown skilled people. "We Need Here In This Country Now".

Nursing is a vocation first and foremost. You sound like you have this vocation, stay with it and don't let others put you off your chosen career. Your rewards will be a hundredfold. You can take your training to any country in the world and earn the respect, appreciation, and the financial gain that you deserve for your years of hard training.

You could say the same about most jobs. On the plus side you have a job for life (very rare now days) and a job with excellent prospects too. You can travel the world and work anywhere. because nobody Else seams to care is a good reason you Need to care. It takes time to discover others who also have the same Passion. If life was only about money and taking it easy without a care in the world we would all be selling street drugs to children whist signing on very fortnight.
