Single parenting and then a cancer diagnosis has prevented me from working but I'm hopeful to do a return to practice course in September. I also have belief in the NHS and just hope Nursing can return to patient focused. #ThatFridayLinkyDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215802010997542230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-4671720403408461282017-03-03T11:00:09.169+00:002017-03-03T11:00:09.169+00:00This was such a great post to read.

I have huge admiration for nurses especially, you seem to get the raw end of the deal far too often and people are very quick to criticise. We have come across some amazing nurses in our experiences with the NHS, although admittedly some terrible nurses too, but you sound like an amazing nurse and your determination is hugely admirable. #bestandworstLaura Dovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03268137000242101428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-50214987475282449582017-03-02T06:43:24.688+00:002017-03-02T06:43:24.688+00:00Nurses work so incredibly hard but with all the st...Nurses work so incredibly hard but with all the stick they get, all the bad mouthing of the NHS and the genuine worry that will it be here that much longer you can kind of see why young people don't want to do it anymore, which is a real shame. However, I don't know why they needed to change it to a degree format and add in the dissertation, nursing is about practical experience, compassion, help to heal, knowledge, of course, but a dissertation isn't really relevant? #Bestandworstkayleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192057986770835676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-25558235476695586152017-03-01T22:39:43.214+00:002017-03-01T22:39:43.214+00:00We are in Canada so my input on this issue can onl...We are in Canada so my input on this issue can only be based on what I know of the healthcare system here. We too have free healthcare. I too worked (until November when I became a SAHM) around the healthcare industry but in a very different capacity. I worked for a company that sells medical supplies to hospitals, nursing homes, and so on. I have been doing so for almost 15 years. <br /><br />The landscape is changing and will continue to do so. People who aren't involved in the industry have no idea how far reaching these changes will be and how much things have changed already. The current model isn't working and the entire industry is struggling. The truth is that the world has changed. People live longer and have higher expectations. There is a huge aging population on the horizon (baby boomers). Prices need to be a great deal more competitive in a world where consumers have access to infinite information and endless comparison shopping (the internet). <br /><br />There are massive changes to our healthcare system in the works. The biggest impact will be on the care of the elderly. The role of hospitals will be redefined. The people who staff those hospitals will need to have a different set of skills than they do now. What has worked up until now will no longer work in the coming years.<br /><br />I have no idea how the healthcare system works in your part of the world. However, many of the issues our healthcare system is facing are issues that will be felt globally. I suspect that the changes you are seeing are in preparation for the unavoidable shift in the healthcare model. It's going to be difficult, without a doubt, but it is necessary and it has been coming for a long time. #bestandworstPeachy and Clementinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16205091026885721089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-1115154063348390852017-03-01T21:38:08.444+00:002017-03-01T21:38:08.444+00:00We've had to use the NHS a fair bit recently, ...We've had to use the NHS a fair bit recently, and I think it's shocking how much it gets knocked down, people work so so hard to keep it going, with little or no thanks xx #bestandworstBecky at PinksCharminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17783958836744265789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-81481811119702863492017-03-01T21:18:12.716+00:002017-03-01T21:18:12.716+00:00I admire anyone who takes the career path you have...I admire anyone who takes the career path you have and my goodness this post is a great motivation to anyone thinking of following you #BestandWorstCoombe Mill - Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10876037849361745669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-28215846704439863372017-03-01T21:08:26.224+00:002017-03-01T21:08:26.224+00:00Hey lovely, just forwarded your post to my sister ...Hey lovely, just forwarded your post to my sister in law.
