I’m not going to make a generalisation here however I’ve been seeing a lot of post on facebook slating nurses now. I know this will be a small minority however way do retired nurses look down on us that we are all on our phones, stuffing our mouths chatting. We don’t they see we care as much as them. Why do they constantly have to put us down ? It feels like we are getting put down by everyone at moment it’s so so disheartening

I’ve copied one the comments I couldn’t help but comment back that we do actually nurse

‘100% in my day we were at the bedside every patient was ours not just a few. on the wrong side of the coat a few times. when one asks for something the reply " I am not your Nurse I will get your nurse" does my nurse turn up NO, have I been made aware of my nurse NO. There is no real nurses today. It was a vocation in my day, wanting to care for people. Now it is a career ladder only worrying how to climb up the next grade, tail end licking on the way.
Grading killed nursing, put nurse against nurse as the favourd ones got the higher grades’

I could put loads more like it I feel what’s the point no one hears us

Just a rant just need to get it off chest.

We are doomed as staff/ patients. Why do the processes in nhs make hard work and results in more appointments in long. Why is it so short sighted and never looks at bigger picture.

So long story short I’ve got a cyst in intimate area 8th time in 2 years. I got referred 2 years ago to gynae took a year to be seen nothing there when went. Fast forward a year got a cyst 3cm in size it’s so uncomfortable can’t sit, stand or lay comfortably. Got sent to gynae ward got to wait for routine appointment and then surgery but by time appointment comes it will have disappeared. I feel like I’m in catch 22 and no ones listening

If it was dealt with 3rd time it would have saved a lot appointments and pain. All nhs see that processes are wrong but when your at end of it it’s inhumane.
