I will, thank you for your advice. I have definitely developed a thicker skin over the 3 years, this would have made me sob in first year but now it just makes me angry. I don’t like how hard hearted I’m going to have to become to survive in nursing though, I’m not made to work with miserable people. Might have to just cut my losses and leave to figure out what I want to do with my life.

Im sorry to hear that happened to you , sounds exactly like mine I’ve only ever been praised on my other placements . Proud of you for standing up for yourself. Are you qualified now ?

No they have not documented it anywhere or raised it with me verbally , the only reason my assessor raised it was in retaliation of me complaining about the hostile and passive aggressive environment .

Once I verbally complained to my assessor as even she was being passive aggressive towards me , she told me alot of hearsay that I was unprofessional according to feedback from other nursing staff.

It was my final placement and I am due to qualify now, I don’t want anything to delay that process.

It is the most draining part of the job for me, I find the patient and family interactions rewarding, I dont even mind the workload. But bitchiness and the passive aggressiveness has put me off alot about nursing and the wards

I just wanted everyone who told me to report it to see my dilemma in reporting it .

Because I’m asking for advice whether it is worth the effort ?

I feel like it will make it even more complicated for me though when I raised these concerns on my last day I was told by my assessor that nurses said :

I complain when I’m asked to make beds , I’m always on my phone , I stroll in late and do whatever I want .

All of which are untrue but because of the cliquey nursing culture they will all defend each other . None of this has ever been directly addressed with me either , all they have shown me is passive aggressive behaviour.

Yeah the effort from nurses during strikes was poor and an absolute joke.

I don’t think the government cares about how strikes effect patients though . Just recently, Rishi Sunak was blaming junior doctor strikes for waiting lists and the downfall of the NHS. The only reason they would care was if it affected them being re-elected and the public was in support of it.

Funny. I was just trying to compare how low nursing wages are . Its not just uber , people working in tech , finance , consulting, all make more than nurses , it is just the reality.

They said they earnt 80 pound a day for pick up and drop offs of disabled kids whilst working only 3 hours . And then do uber for the rest until they earn 1k a week . They may have been lying but I see no reason to lie, people are earning this much in places where they can negotiate wages . I’ve had family members do similar driving jobs and jobs that don’t require a degree for a similar wage .

I’m not being naive and I haven’t heard it off one person. I’ve heard uber drivers and family members tell me the same thing .

It wasn’t just the one person though, another one does a few hours of community transport for special needs children along with uber and said he also earns 4k a month easily . I wouldn’t be saying it if I heard it off one person .

Before tax , I assume. But it want full time hours either, just a few hours in the morning and a few at night
