She only works in the private sector now and is paid well, treated with respect and enjoys giving true patient care, which is why she enrolled. The NHS is an institution of bullying, nastiness and rampant ineptitude. The Matrons are usually "Managers" who were onces Nurses and are now towing the party line like good little quislings. Patients are in the way and to be despised. Nurses used to be respected. Now they are feared and hated.

I wish to fully support those sad comments, my dear wife has been nursing for over 35 years and she reports exactly the same thing. Nurses turned managers, shop stewards almost inbed with the managers , top heavy administration , ie more pen pushers that front line medics, she reckons the NHS has been destroyed by both Labours Agenda for change and the Tory Health reviews.

She is so fed up she is thinking about either retiring early , working for a drug company or tking up a teaching post at he Uni.
