Nothing surprises me any more, Ann. I used to respect nurses but recent experience has made me reassess that view. |

It's heartrending and upsetting to read these stories, we should all get decent and dignified care in hospitals, we used to be able to trust in the nurses and doctors to do their best but these days, everything is down to funding and cost, it seems. |

As a former nurse (who rose to the dizzy heights of Matron :-) I have read all these comments with sadness. |

How sad for you Elizabeth..............a few nurses have respect willingly given by grateful patients and relatives, sadly the majority have no people skills at all, they are not deserving of any respect at all. |

I believe that support workers are the old auxiliaries.Think they changed the name a few years ago when they brought out NVQs. |

my d-i-l has to take her uniform home as nursing staff have no lockers!!! as new unit and those who arrived first got the lockers - hence all the admin staff have lockers |

My mother was SRN and a senior sister. She did her training during ww2 in the south of England where as well as everyday nursing they also had the extra practice of the Battle of Britain, the Blitz and D-Day. She tells me that she will never forget the long lines of ambulances waiting for the incoming ships during the summer of 1944 and the handsome sunburned men. Germans and English were treated the same side by side. |
