Nursing what? Bedding plants? A sick animal? Or do you mean the career in the NHS where they are not appointing any new nurses because of lack of funding?

I think its a very difficult job - often a thankless one. Long hours, poor conditions and low pay. However - I take my hat off to all nurses - I think you are all angels xx

Nursing a baby (breast feeding) I'm not a big fan of, but if you are talking about a nursing degree then that's completely different and I think its awesome to be involved in something that is very helpful and useful in this world.

they don't get paid enough for the crap they take and deserve every raise they can get. if states can afford to bus in scabs from out of state they can pay nurses a decent wage. they also tend not to be as arrogant as doctors, male and female.

A:
I think the people must be great but they are paid rubish wages and now they are becoming increasingly clueless as they learn how to nurse from textbooks which i think is a load of rubish the best way to nurse and handle the paitents and their feelings (which a text book can't tell you) is to be on the job therefore i liked the old nursing system but no the government seems to disagree and thinks degree's are everything my rant is over now :)

I think nurses in the NHS are murderers. My Mother died last month in an NHS hospital because they deliberately dehydrated her so that she would get confused and weak and die to free up a bed for them. I think nurses are thick and evil. I thin k they work within a system that legalises the murder of elderly people on a daily basis.
I know all you know nothings out there will want to disbelieve this...but how about we hear from some people who have had elderly relatives in hospital recently tell us their stories?
ADDED:
Did no one hear about the elderly patients who have asked for bedpans only to be told to defecate in there beds?????
Nurses????....evil scum!!!!!!!
Incidentally...I am a trade union officer for Unison. A union that represents nurses...I would never help any of them.
They are a disgrace to the human race as far as I am concerned. Sack the lot of them!
Come on you brave thumbers!!! Let's have the debate?????
Show yourselves instead of hiding....

if you geninely love caring for poeple ,then it is a very rewarding job. however, you will need to get used to low pay and unsocial working hours. Also you should not be squeamish, say of a patient who has crapped into his clothes and needs a clean up.
Answered by Prasanna T
A:
Nurses are in great demand, and will be. High demand = increasing pay. It's a tough job, but is rewarding personally and financially, and a good nurse will never have any problem finding work.
Answered by Laissez-Faire Guy
A:
Yeah nursing is a great profession however, they are being hampered daily by red tape and are being put in places of danger ie MRSA and the new thing out. Government should fix up and clean their environment raising pay or at very least lowering their working hours for the same pay.
Answered by Natalie Cd
A:
nursing when chosen as a career should first be a vocation
then a job as this entails caring for sick people.Skills and knowledge may be learned but not caring and compassion...which is the very essence of this profession.I WOULD THEREFORE CALL NURSING THE CARING PROFESSION.......the dollar and pounds comes next.
Fulfillment then comes when you care and see your patients
recover.You have to have that insane goal of seeing all your patients recover and go home.So are you a nurse or you want to be a nurse? I am a nurse and by experience that for me is nursing.
Answered by Heartbeat
A:
I think for the most part they are underpaid and undervalued. They are more and more expected to take on the tasks that previously Dr's did, with no more money, the Jr Dr's taking on tasks of more senior Dr's, and so on, and the managers have a pay rise, whilst slashing the budgets for patient care to pay for it!
Robert C.... they are also human, and with any profession you get excellent ones, and very poor ones. Sorry to hear about your experiences.

There's always a shortage, no matter where you go in life you will have a job and the skills in which to help people. My daughter is in her 2nd year of college on her way to her RN right now. So, I think it's a smart choice of a life and career.

Well, I recently graduated with my BSN, and have been a RN for about 4 months now. So far, I LOVE IT! However, some of my friends did not expect nursing to be what they are experiencing. Nursing is a hard job. Intertwining numerous skills & knowledge together into one. It is definitely an art & science. I love it! Hope this helps!

A:
My mom encourages me to take up nursing but I am taking Accounting instead because I do not like nursing.
The good thing about nursing is that, nurses are in high demand around the world, or at least here in the US.
The pay is good too.

Nurses work long and hard for very little thanks or payment from govt, society and the politics "among them" is horrendous....do it if you can't do anything else...talking from experience....

Speaking as a nurse I think it is very hard , hard work but the rewards can be fantastic. To be able to make a patient feel calmer, pain free or happier just makes my day.
Actually I am glad we wear trousers now! Trying to do the manual handling in those silly dresses greatly restricted our movements. Trousers don;t look sexy BUT they are better to work in. Nurses do not seem to have that sexy status symbol that we used to have! As a student i started off wearing the dress, hat, belt and a cape. Thankfully times have changes and we wear no hats, just trousers and a tunic top.
However nursing is changing and in the UK we are becoming more conscious of litigation so we are sadly getting more and more bogged down with paperwork lessening the time we can spend doing what we love...and that is caring for the patients!
ROBERT C.that is awful what happened to your Mother. I can say nothing to ease your pain but i do hope you are pursuing a complaint with the NHS Trust? Each and every nurse in the UK is responsible for the care they give and we are answerable for our actions. We belong to the NMC (nursing midwifery council) and we are bound by strict regulations. I cannot and will not comment on your case regarding your Mother. What I can say is not all nurses are murderers. Some of us respect and admire the people we care for and treat and believe it a privilege to be able to do so. I too was horrified to tears with what I saw on the news about the c-diff and how people were treated. But remember that not all nurses would do that. I for one would have immediately called my union and got the higher up authorities involved.
I work with elderly people and would never treat patients in that way. The day that ever happens would be the day i stop being a nurse...........................

If you have the nature to be a nurse then good. It is hard work, you need good school grades and if you get excepted into uni for a nursing degree it is 3 years of studying and when you get a job it is 4 12 hours shifts day or night.

I quit that way back when I was 1 1/2 yr old. My mom made me, got sick of me.

Answered by MySideBoob
A:
Nursing isn't just one job. There are many types of nurses, working in many different kinds of healthcare situations. However, all of them enter the profession with the intention of helping others.
We have to remember, though, that they are only people like you and me. They get fed up with the job at times; they may have a private life which makes their working day more difficult; they are prone to making mistakes just like all of us.
We shouldn't put nurses on pedestals, because they then become an easy target to get knocked down.
