Answer 7

angels every last one of them?

Answer 8

Most are sincere, hard working and underpaid for the level of responsibility they carry.

Nurses are dedicated to their work, the recent case of the Nurse abusing elderly patients, Norris in NE England is very rare and very tragic. No one is able to explain why he decided to kill his elderly patients.

My wife is a nurse of 17 years and a brilliant and compassionate example.

Answer 9

good

Answer 10

As a nurse I can tell you I am overworked, underpaid and patients expect us to work miracles.  As with any job there is protocol and nurses take a lot of guff from people who don't understand that nurses are not the decision makers.  We have heavy assignments with ,for me,up to 10 people on a med surge unit ...all in pain...all with anxiety and all wanting 24 hour care and to have the nurse come in the blink of an eye.  Reality people.  We answer to doctors,residents, take phone calls, manage your medications, change your bandages and sometimes even feed you.  We are tired, and although we understand and sympathize with you, our stern outer shell may just be because we are trying not to forget the next person that requires a little TLC.  We really do care about your feelings but sometimes the medical has to over ride the perky smile.

Answer 11

hiya,

overworked, stressed, underpaid and definately not appreciated for the wonderful work they do x*x.

Answer 12

Nurses have only had a bad press from one Tory peer who clearly is out of touch with common humanity. Most nurses do a wonderful job and are very caring. As for the male nurse who was killing old ladies - unfortunately as in any walk of life you get the odd bad apple - as in the doctors' profession and Dr Shipman.
