The press seem determined to pull down nurses/doctors at every opportunity, is it any wonder that violence against health care professionals is on the increase??

I'm not a midwife, but I've just switched to nights after working 18 months on a very busy Med/Surg floor. It's early days yet, but up to now I've found I can give much better quality care to my patients on nights than I ever could on days.

Yes, I'm still kept busy, but busy doing nursing tasks, instead of pandering to the whims of everybody and anybody other than those who really matter.......the patients.

Bashing nurses just seems to be the flavour of the month right now. We can't win can we?
