Hi Gill,
I cant belive the ratio, im getting totally disgusted at the way we are being treated here, last thursday i was in charge of a ward with 27 patients with 2 health cares and a newly qualified nurse who is pregnant, the seniors knew about the staffing but do nothing about it as i dont think they care as long as the beds are filled, i work on a respiratiory ward and had few on the LCP, and a few very poorly, i felt like crying by the end of the shift and going home feeling i havent done my job. i dont think i can carry on doing this as its my pin number on the line not the managments.
Sorry moaning over now.
Are the shifts same as here 1-9, 7-3. do they do long days 7-9??
It sounds too good to be true, but im willing to give it a try.
Thanks For the info,
Kathy
