For any individual to make the decision to train as a nurse is in itself a decision to help others. It is a selfless decision
Yes, it is just a job like any other and it is a personal choice. But once you go into the detail of what they actually do, and how they impact our lives, nursing is nothing like any other job!
As nurses embark on their strike action this week, it is extremely sad to see what society value more and what we are happy to pay for entertainment e.g. footballer’s wages..
The giver must tear up existing pay structure for nurses. We need to create a brand new salary structure for nurses; one that will truly reflect their unparalleled contribution
This cannot be about avoiding a domino effect on other civil servants. We must do the right thing. The current salary paid to nurses is an absolute disgrace!
Knowledge can improve the world we live in
