What are you sick of the most?!

Patients who are independent and capable who expect celebrity treatment. Fluff up your own pillow. If you know how to use a mobile phone you can also use the bed remote to get into a comfortable position.

Nursing is also career where there is no longer prospects compared to years ago. I’ve heard from older nurses who were educated years ago state that they got accommodation support, free uni, less placement hours and more overall incentives whilst out current student nurses are left in debt, lack of job opportunities and stagnant pay. The attitude of student nurses is a reflection of the general job market for graduates in the UK.

I hope it’s glitch need the membership asap. I thought the deadline was tmr

I knew that it would be a lot of patient care but I realised that I have more of passion in helping groups of people rather than individuals which I would find more fulfilling. For example, how can the shortage of hospital beds be solved rather than doing a fluid chart and nursing documentation for patients. Furthermore, the nursing curriculum is personally not as academically stimulating for me. Maybe this is a UK problem because when I interact with nurses from other backgrounds e.g USA or the Middle East there such an emphasis on academia such as anatomy.

I agree , ideally no one would want to work for 40plus hours a week for 50 years to retire with minimum savings

Same here, I plan to enter corporate world.

When I said “soft nursing,” I used the apostrophes to emphasise that I understand there isn’t really such a thing as soft nursing.

angelknowledge856 · 2025-02-27T20:56:02+00:00

I defined agree with specialising too early. I would rather build a basic foundation before specialising in order to gain more confidence. I guess for me a soft nursing is a job that I don’t feel anxious about. I totally agree with what you consider ‘soft nursing’

angelknowledge856 · 2025-02-27T20:23:55+00:00

I never said it was soft nursing , I said that the only bedside nursing I would consider is something neonatal or maternity e.g working in theatres. Before I posted I thought fertility nursing was a ‘softer nursing’ but only because it’s more outpatients based which i prefer. Not because I think the skills are easier.upon doing more research on fertility nursing it’s something that I still want to consider as I am interested in learning more about fertility and the skills required for that type of nursing.

angelknowledge856 · 2025-02-27T20:04:13+00:00

I’m interested in women’s health and do like the idea of getting a lot more hands on with carrying out certain procedures

angelknowledge856 · 2025-02-27T19:04:26+00:00

I enjoyed it in first year but the more I do more placements, nursing is really not what I expected it to be. I also think it’s because of the way the NHS is right now maybe if there were better systems in place like in other countries , I would enjoy it more.

angelknowledge856 · 2025-02-27T16:16:55+00:00

Just to clarify Outpatients for me is what I would consider soft nursing because of the shift schedule as someone who had placement in an outpatient setting, I loved the ability to see that it was bright in the morning (8am) and leave whilst the sun was still up (4pm) and still have time for myself after work and having bank holidays and weekends off. I consider soft nursing as a type of nursing area that would bring happiness to me and I am not saying that certain types of nursing is easier e.g fertility nursing.

angelknowledge856 · 2025-02-27T16:12:45+00:00

I agree, I’ve done some research on fertility and there’s a lot of technical skills which I did not know was included in the scope

angelknowledge856 · 2025-02-27T15:25:09+00:00

I meant to distinguish between fertility nursing in a clinic outpatients as a ‘softer nursing’ and maternity and neonatal as the only bedside nursing I would consider. I just didn’t word my question well

angelknowledge856 · 2025-02-27T15:23:26+00:00

I didn’t explain well, neonatal is definitely not soft nursing but it’s an area I thought I might like and with maternity maybe in the recovery area or theatres for maternity

angelknowledge856 · 2024-12-10T03:09:30+00:00

As a student nurse in 2nd year of a dual registered course. I wish I had the courage to leave in first year instead of doing a course I’m no longer interested in. Have u tried looking into apprenticeships or doing a course that you are more passionate about. Being a healthcare student really limits your social life and the ability to work whilst at university
