"To be fair, it's a job and a chosen profession, that people are paid to do. I work very hard, under huge pressure and have a large amount of responsibility, but no posts saying well done etc!! I wouldn't want to be thanked and praised, I choose my profession, and I get paid for it. As I said, its a reasonably well paid CHOOSEN profession. No need for thanks, nurses are only doing what they are paid to do, and that us look after and nurse the ill. Just saying. " What a bizarre _iew. If a professional footballer scored a 40 yard volley, would you say well done? or nothing because that is what he is paid for? | |||

"As a nurse I'm not interested in the chosen profession, paid for arguement because could go on for ever. But I'm sure anyone who made that career descision over 10 yrs ago no longer recognises it as a caring profession. The NHS is now run as a business, with targets to meet, budgets to reduce and legislation to meet. And no longer provides job security. Saying that I still get some job satisfaction and it partly pays the bills X " You mean that like the whole country, the Nhs is facing cut backs... Wow who would have thought?!?! | |||

"yes, I get paid...... £4.00 for a half hour call, makes you wonder whether going out in those condition is worth it, I had 8 calls to do, would usually get them done in the 4 hrs allocated but took 6 hrs yesterday, when I was trawlling through the heavy snow and getting to calls to find out nobody had been out to do the lunch calls when the weather wasn't as bad, made me wonder who the idiot was!" So you get paid £8 per hour, pro rata? Well above the minimum wage. So what's the problem? | |||

Yes they empty bed pans, and perform brain surgery. But my point is they get PAID for it, and have chosen that profession.
My point is that everyone goes on about the angels and stars that work for the NHS, its a job they get paid for, and I think we are all to quick to assume that every nurse is worth their weight in gold.
They moan and bitch about pay and conditions all they time. They are well paid, have pretty secure jobs. There are far worse professions out there.

It is you who doesn't understand. Although you seem fairly capable of loading bullets. The OP is thanking the nursing profession for the work they do. Regardless of whether they are employed to do it or not. I refer you to the football analogy further up the thread again. Would you say well done to a professional footballer for a brilliant goal? After all he is paid (considerably) to do so. | |||

Absolutely nothing against nurses, I just think its unfair that they always receive recognition when many other, just as deserving professions don't. | |||

After all he is paid (considerably) to do so." I have indeed answered your direct questions. In terms of the football analogy, i might say good goal, but not well done? Bit like an actor that plays a good part in a film, I would say good film or role. My point again, as you clearly don't get it. I am not saying nurses don't do a good job, I am merely pointing out that lots of nurses moan about pay and conditions. It is their choice to enter the profession. Same as a footballer or a actor. All professions are paid to do the job they are employed to do. Anyway, have a nice night love xx | |||

You have that same _iew about soldiers too then? There's is a paid for profession "Not all soldiers, just the ones who moan about going to war. What the hell did they sign up for?! The same can be said for all professions. The vast majority get on with the job in hand. It's the ones who moan about it that need to take a reality check | |||

You are all angels and I love you allxxxxxxxxx" I guess that's the big difference here isn't it? the take away driver may well have had to walk to your front door in the snow, but you weren't going to die if he didn't bother, I hope that you never have to see first hand how hard they can work for you and you can go onand die and old man one day, happy in the knowledge that it's just a job. | |||

I love my job and wouldn't change it for anything, well I would the red tape and rules that stop us doing the job in a much more proactive way! Health and social care are a million miles apart sometimes in our approach but I'm sure the majority of professionals work towards the same goal. So 3 cheers to all jobs and people that do things everyday that others wouldn't alway choose, from bin men to bus drivers and all in between!...
At last, someone speaks sense " | |||

"hear hear! I chose to enter nursing but every single day I witness people staying on late and working through breaks..all unpaid and with no bosses who ever recognise anyones individual contributions. Welcome to the real world. Most people I know work longer, harder and receive no bonus or credit. That's the real world for you! To Many people aboard the Nhs Gravy train. " You are an idiot, I will guarantee that 'most' people you know DO NOT work 13-14 hour days often with no breaks, how do you know how hard the average nurse works? The 'NHS gravy train' as you call it was ended years ago around the time efficiency savings were put in place. I'm not a nurse but do know a lot about their jobs! | |||

"To be fair, it's a job and a chosen profession, that people are paid to do. I work very hard, under huge pressure and have a large amount of responsibility, but no posts saying well done etc!! I wouldn't want to be thanked and praised, I choose my profession, and I get paid for it. As I said, its a reasonably well paid CHOOSEN profession. No need for thanks, nurses are only doing what they are paid to do, and that us look after and nurse the ill. Just saying. And when Architects, in my case, empty bed pans and perform brain surgery, I shall be pleased to have my own thread.... Until then, this thread is for those who wish to gratefully acknowledge the fabulous service that the majority of the NHS staff provide....
Just responding....n
Yes they empty bed pans, and perform brain surgery. But my point is they get PAID for it, and have chosen that profession.
My point is that everyone goes on about the angels and stars that work for the NHS, its a job they get paid for, and I think we are all to quick to assume that every nurse is worth their weight in gold.
They moan and bitch about pay and conditions all they time. They are well paid, have pretty secure jobs. There are far worse professions out there.
Those that do the above on a voluntary basis however deserve the credit and admiration. The Red Cross are a truly inspiring organisation.
Just saying
You have that same _iew about soldiers too then? There's is a paid for profession
Not all soldiers, just the ones who moan about going to war. What the hell did they sign up for?!
The same can be said for all professions. The vast majority get on with the job in hand. It's the ones who moan about it that need to take a reality check "I agree with you about folk who moan about doing a job they chose to do. But think the op was more saluting those who do the job and don't moan. Although think us working nation moan about our jobs all the time x | |||

As far as i can see its pretty clear, no misinterpretation on my part | |||
