Abi Titmuss

She is not a qualified nurse, she dropped out of the college of nursing to persue a career in 'media'. And as a qualified nurse I resent the inference that it requires "a level of intelligence just hovering above "average". For your information, the registered nurse qualifications in this country (RGN, RMN, RNLD) are now degree level.

I dunno, you try and talk up a profession and they bite your hand off.......the point I was making was that (regardless of whether she qualified or not) it's a common misconception that ms Titmuss is "thick" (this obviously comes with the territory due to the nature of her recent career path) when actually she must have some intelligence to achieve a position as a nurse (qualified or not). You can of course disagree with this?? ;)

In hindsight, one could argue that she showed a high level of intelligence & foresight by dropping out in the first place??

Yes, just very stressed with work at the moment. As from March 31st the learning disabilities sector of the NHS is being sold off to the private sector (kept that out of the media didn't we Mr Blair?), and the additional workload and paperwork to make the transition has caused untold levels of stress everywhere. I've had a headache for 3 days now:evil:
 
hmm... you'd think going private sector would REDUCE paperwork. Sad to hear that's causing extra stress for you... I hope that things get better once the whole deal is done. I can't imagine in the long-term it'd be worse to work in the private sector, though everything's tricky where the healthcare industry is concerned.
 
It's the transfer itself that's causing the extra paperwork, and it could lead to further headaches as our pay and conditions are only guaranteed for two years. The NHS pension is the best final-salary pension you can get in this country and I've been paying into it for twelve years. In two years time that could, and in all probability will change. Nobody here is happy and I'm having to deal with more staff concerns everyday. It's a bit of a nightmare to be honest and my manager is useless- her favourite phrase at the moment seems to be "Paddy, can you deal with this for me?":roll:

Final salary pensions still exist?????? (Although from your previous posts I'd concede that perhaps, particularly compared to the public sector dunces I've encountered in construction, you deserve such a benefit)
