Would you become a Nurse?

Weird topic is this but its something i was talking about briefly in work today, would you want to go into this type of work knowing the stats of the numbers of dcotors and and NHS carers been attacked on the job? 8 out of 10 nurses have been attacked in some form in the last year. Would that put you off if you was interested in becoming a nurse or a doctor or just a general carer?

Probably not because I've seen how overworked lots of nurses on wards etc. are recently...

Amen to that, and the staff shortage is getting deeper as well. The attacks on A&E staff are mainly from drunks and people on drugs. The attacks on the actual wards are from dementia patients who are basically lost and its almost an instinct

There is too many men in suits in hospitals my dad reckons. Walking around doing nothing, thats what he he sees anyway when he goes there to fit x-ray lead lined protection screens. Mabie get rid of some of them and get some more nurses and doctors in who do work...

on the grid.

Its not all its cracked up to be. I love my job alot and i like the people i work with, but the work load is heavy, and the expectations are very high as well. Linz, i can speak to you on MSN about it more, but what thinks put you off?

I am a 3rd Year student nurse. All the time during my course I have questioned if I actually want to do the job I am training for. I can honestly say I still don't know. At the moment where I am there are no newly qualified jobs, so am looking on a wider scale, Or I might just move!

But the 700 odd people in my year are still going through with it. Nursing like any job can be stressful, Before I started my training my background was in customer service, Call centres and cash processing. It was a massive shock to my system, I too doubted it but I can assure you things get better the more you progess in your training (except my english!) Being a 1st year sucks you feel like a spare part but once you get through your first placement it gets more interesing :)

Happy to answer any questions :)

I've worked with many many students as an auxilarry and the 1st year is usually a tough year for a student because you are learning just basic nursing skills, but the only way to get recognised and to get the experience is to muck in and get your hands dirty just like the regular staff do because that is what you will be doing in 3 years time when you qualify

    • The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
