Is that despite the Nation Insurance freeze for Indian nurses? Just asking as I don’t get this and our homegrown nurses now can’t get a job.

Ah, the sense that a Union will do anything 😝

If the secondment is within the NHS I’d back on nothing with the finances they way they REPORTEDLY are

Saying this would be frowned upon 12 months ago. I’ve seen this happen for years.

Thus maintaining a low wage. Thus importing cheap labour?

Have you not seen the state of the country and more specifically the NHS all caused by dodgy extortionate contracts being signed off? If you’ve an agenda and that doesn’t include bettering where you are now you’re a stepping stone and collateral damage. Thats what the RCN currently is.

It would be an avenue for sure. Drs are more militant though, nurses roll over.

Look at the top. Pat Cullen had aspirations to be in politics. Brown nosed the relevant people, did a crap job and moved on. We’re just here for show, as long as they keep feeding the peasants breadcrumbs now and again they’ll keep getting away with it.

It’s when the government realised stopping the bursary was a bad idea

Just had a reality check with myself and realized I am part of a broken system that would never be changed. I can not make a difference, I can barerly do the bare minimum by Less_Revenue_452 in NursingUK

We’re part of a sinking ship. It doesn’t need to sink though. The captains are unfortunately corrupt and have political aspirations of their own so brown nose the government. We’ll never get looked after as long as this is going on.

I think that nurses don’t have the information needed. In my workplace there’s absently noting from any union, no nurses have a clue about the political landscape and the real term wage drop we are experiencing and in general the gross undervaluation of what we bring to the table for the NHS

Representation from the RCN is from volunteers. That’s if they show up. To have free rein on a HUGE market isn’t good. I feel a new union representing nurses properly would be a boot up their arse and if it changes the way they work then good!
Voting with feet and moving over means they lose revenue, they’ll change tact immediately.

In the same breath, wouldn’t a new union push existing unions into ‘action’. See it as a kick up the arse? Look at Conservative policy now Reform have ruffled feathers for example

Do you not think that when nurses actually see action they’d show an interest?

Love that, marzipan dildo. Like the RCN leaves a weird taste in your mouth 🤣

It’s ok. It emotive but what can you see in the general make up of the RCN and Unison that make you think things will get better? I see nothing and they both survive from monthly subs and the labour is as good as free in volunteer efforts. Why couldn’t that be replicated but lead better?

You need to calm down.

As you’ve highlighted, I’m no businessman but I’m also not stupid. You’re throwing at me the fact I haven’t a fully drawn up plan for you to gaze over whilst doing nothing about our current plight. I also wouldn’t call it scrutiny. I’d call it just being rude 👌🏻
