It's the first time that all members across the whole of the UK have been balloted at once. The last time nurses took to the picket lines in a major strike was the 1980s.

20% Pay Rise to all Nurses who are the very definition of "essential public workers."
20% reduction in MPs wages are the very definition of "none essential public Serpents"
you do know that would cost a tremendous amount right?
16k*650=10400000
6.6k*320000=2112000000
that is less than 0.5% of the total cost, this would be 2 billion in extra costs every year in perpetuity, off the backs of those in the private sector.
@@turdrhinofiend I want the people who have my life in their hands to be well looked after in the work they do, simple as that, the same goes for Pilots flying the Plane i am on, or the Fireman rescuing me from a burning building.
Does that include the ones that was dancing on tick tock whilst people couldn’t even see their dying family’s
@@mrknowles1540 Didn't see that. As long as they were not in middle of Surgery but having a Dance or singing a song on their Breaks who gives a fuck in all honesty, not they they were all having Lockdown Parties in the Hospital with a DJ and Suit Cases of Wine from the Coop. I mean who would do that shit, right?
@@bigdaz7272 I wonder what the news report is about 🤔 surly it’s not nurses getting fined and fired for lockdown party’s
Funny how MPs seem to justify pay increases, not forgetting the multitude of expenses that they can claim back, generous stipends for food/lunch/dinner yet healthcare workers are demanding (and rightly so) an increase in wages, better working conditions, better staffing levels and placing an emphasis on patient safety.
I went to a MPs house after a leak in the roof.. we found there expense folder. He applied for a £4500 bird box for his duck pond and it got it, claimed on expensive for it.. that's 3 months wages for me. MPs will never change.
All those nurses should become MPs then.
RUclips prevents me from commenting normally, because I challenge their narrative. However, the moneyprinting done by the BoE and the post-pandemic stockmarket souffle has been the biggest transfer of wealth from poor to rich in world history, and trying to steal this much wealth from working people is playing with fire, people are not stupid, it's not a tory or labour thing, it's the whole establishment impoverishing working people to hand money over to the excessively wealthy who control and influence media and companies like RUclips.
@@JonathanCheeseman Really? Wow! I guess the NHS should run on hot air and nonsense like your pithy comment.
@@willienelsongonzalez4609 I didn't say that. You're strawmanning.
Politicians will give themselves a 10% pay rise again, just watch. Who pays the independent pay review body?
Two wrong don't make a right.
@@WhoDaresWinso7 The government aren't going to fix this wrong, so what do you expect nurses to do?
@@prideofdurham4776 Wind farms are used alongside other forms of power, the UK gets about 25% of its power from renewables. Which makes the conservatives opposition to them bizarre. Its almost as if they want us impoverished for their weird, counter productive, ideological reasons.
Nurses were given a pay rise while many peoples pay was frozen and they earn above the average wage. F nurses. Pay people at the bottom properly there the ones really up against it. People on £30k a year are not.
I agree that is ridiculous but should be addressed seperately rather than used as a shield for a ridiculous strike.
Nurses already make slightly above the median uk salary, everyone is suffering under biden's hyperinflation, this is tone deaf to strike just because you can.
The cost of paying the politicians (directly, not through their crony schemes) is a drop in the bucket compared to what it would be to allow for a modest payrise for a much much larger workforce (650 vs 320000).
As They Go On Strike, They Can Ask The Government Where All Of The Money Has Been Going?.
To your Shift key it looks like.
@@AsILayDyingBFMV. You Used Your Shift Key Too, So What's The Problem?. 🤷♂️.
Gov think they can go to work for claps only ?
The money has been going to Ukraine to supply munitions etc, also millions a week to house beach migrants, they are also borrowing money to hand out tax cuts.....in the hope this will persuade the electorate to vote Torie at the General election.And there is always money available for a nice juicy rise for MPs..These people are financially incompetent, the reported billions of munitions they are sending to Ukraine, could of been avoided.....by negotiating peace in February, as well as causing a war, it has caused the cost of living crisis, and moved us to the edge of Armegedon.
It's obviously been going to their friends and donors
Aye they deserve a pay rise but so does almost every sector. Greedy selfish people running the country is what the problem is. After covid all this energy guff …. I think they need reminding who pays their wages and if this is a democracy maybe we should all be allowed to vote on what we think mps should earn
Nurses got hit really hard by austerity and have seen their pay packets shrink in real terms for over a decade now and have been literally at the front lines dying during covid. We just need to fund the NHS more as it's dropped in real terms despite our aging population increasing the cost and not keep cutting taxes.
It’s the system, the system is corrupt and rotten! ESG is not helping the cause!
@@hyperbolic3833 agreed, saying that most folks pay have been frozen for years and needs to be increased to keep up with inflation I worked all through covid too and in 3 years wages have increased by about 20p. The nhs is suffering because the gov are pushing private health care over the nhs. To ensure private care is profitable they are making the nhs seem less reliable. It’s just the government being dirty scummers
You think it's hard on nurses, try being a HCA / Auxiliary Nurse on Band 2 or 3 pay! We carry out most of the hands on care and nursing on the wards with more and more jobs put on us, whilst on thousands of pounds a year less than a qualified nurse. Yet we won't be getting a pay rise anywhere near inflation!
It's my understanding it's all nursing staff; including HCA's. I'm an RCN member on their HCA list and I'm being sent a ballot.
@@davemc9268
Yes your right..
I to am waiting on my ballot to be sent...
Band change is what hca s need... band 2 is a DISGRACE.... power to the staff...
Time for government to now wake up...
Band 2 HCW here as well, yes let's have a go at our Nurse colleagues and a dick measuring contest over who has it harder, they're the real problem 🙄 get a grip for fucksake we are being balloted on strike action.
Go back to university and get a nursing degree. You have a choice.
@@williwonkah.9242 No actually that's not a choice I have or many have, but using that style of thinking you have, people could say to Nurses quit your job go back to university and train to be a doctor, life simply isn't that simple, I never started life wanting to be a Nurse Auxiliary or Nursing associate that my current role is transforming into, I am a Professionally qualified nuclear submariner, but a life changing accident knocked that career out of play! So now I work around my physical abilities and my family's needs. Hospitals will need lots of HCA's etc going into the future, at the current time my trust has more HCA's walking out the doors Vs those being recruited, The last time I was involved in a recruitment drive at secondary and college level we discovered that most young adults wouldn't want to do the job for the current pay levels, especially when Waitrose and Lidl had sections besides us who offered pay rates even at their lowest pay scales 15 to 20% per hour more.
The NHS is breaking and even those loyal to it are starting to question if they can afford to stay.
How do you think people on minimum wage cope.
It's not one or the other. Everyone deserves to be able to live. No need to compare.
Well, why don't you strike then?
I am a nurse, and it is not about comparing, it is about being paid a fair and liveable wage.
Thank you
@SassySam Solidarity!! Your right!
Thank you 😇
@@johnohara197 because nurses are paid enough to strike.
@@johnohara197 You picked nursing, then complain it's not well paid enough. Do you see where you went wrong?
My niece is a nurse in ICU. She hasn't had a real pay rise in 12 years.
Liar they got a cost of living rose recently.. Liar
Well, think about all those people who haven’t had a job in all those years.. I admire the nurses but they have a job to do and we pay them to do it..😏
@@kenshiro1789 When your pay doesn't keep up with inflation its a real terms pay cut. Effectively the same thing. Use your brain.
@@TheJacob95 "Use your brain", well that's him out of the conversation.
@@kenshiro1789 you liar! real payrise is different to rise with inflation.... bit embrassed for you.
Solidarity with all the workers taking industrial action, but a special thought has to be given to nurses. Nursing is one of the most overlooked, under-appreciated and ridiculously underpaid professions in the labour movement and they have held back, purely because their job requires them to put their patients first. They have been pushed to this and they deserve the full solidarity of the public and all of their demands met. The very fact that nurses have been pushed to take industrial action is a terrible indictment on our political/economic system and shows that the state is not fit for purpose.
ridiculously underpaid? they make above median salary in the uk.
@@mikelheron20 feel free to show proof…
@@mikelheron20 How is having wages frozen time and again while receiving real term pay cuts the rest of the time due to austerity special treatment? Care t oshare where you got your ravings from?
@@turdrhinofiend They have to do lengthy and constant qualifications to get the job. Its a highly skilled high pressure profession but doesn't pay like one. It should be well above median pay.
They should have thought when they supported the thing.
It's not just nurses and doctors it's everyone who's getting mugged off
Money printing due to Covid causing global inflation.
Too many patients and not enough bill-payers also an issue.
A general strike is long overdue
And are you expecting the Nursing and Midwifery council to arrange a strike on behalf of all other sectors?
As someone who worked in A&E night shifts for three out of my four years with them as a receptionist, I have to say they really are the true heroes of the U.K. They need to be recognised for the thankless work they do. Seen some nurses treated horribly by management and patients, and can often be a hostile work environment under difficult conditions while maintaining their own lives.
They wanted lockdowns now they can pay for the lockdowns throigh price inflation.
Do you thank the power plant workers, Dock workers, food drivers, construction workers for building and maintenining society, you're not a nurse in the traditional sense, youre a merc for hire.
@@WhoDaresWinso7 They should all be paid a living wage . . .
Most are not real nurses and most uk docs are not real docs evil uk lords had to force eu to say there are
Only when nurses were told they had to have jabs swabs did they tell the truth its the jabbe that are getting ci9 swabs shingles
When ever I've been to hospital the nurses never move around like they are that rushed off their feet.
@NWH I haven't read anything I'm speaking from my own experience.
That is a simply ridiculous remark to make! Do you have any level of intelligence?
The reason nurses don't run around, or rush is because we are professionals! We need to remain calm, this relaxed demeanour, helps to reflect and transfer a sense of calmness to patients, many of whom are anxious or worried, one is taught this while training!
Your rather childish comment reflects and demonstrates how little you know about nursing, or the skills needed to be a professional!
Thank you.
Meanwhile doctors are only getting a raise of 2% so are going to ballot for strike action as well. Nurses are so underpaid and some of the best people you will ever meet in life, I'm glad they're striking.
Funny how the government cries 'patient safety' over strikes but not when HCPs complain of underfunding and staffing issues and massive wait times.
Rather get a pay rise of 2%on £200.000 than 10%on £ 20.000 doctors over paid for what they do
@@lesleystewart5882 how many doctors directly employed by the NHS make 6 figures let alone 200,000? Don't talk rubbish.
@@lesleystewart5882 the average salary for a registered nurse is around £35k in the UK. That isn’t too shabby. They just need more support as the problem is understaffing, not pay.
Doctors have a job for life .. they don’t deserve a pay rise… they have an exorbitant salary, a generous pension scheme and a comfortable lifestyle most people can only dream of… I say sack any doctor that goes on strike😏
@@franceleeparis37 I’ll do you a favour and leave the country
What I want is shorter shifts and more staff....
Agreed.
Its really scary how long shifts are when people's live are on the line, I know I wouldn't be making my best calls 12 hours into a shift
Yeah, I'd like to do less work too. Probably wouldn't make as much money though....
For that you can work in community or out patient department
@@JonathanCheeseman
You not understand I'm happy to work same hours over more days but no longer happy to work long days . I'm not looking at less hours....
Nurses and Doctors should be respected and paid their dues and increament according to their their hard work
Many doctors on £40-150k
Same nurses and doctors that shut down services to hype up covid u mean
No more than anyone else is "due" according to their hard work.
Doctors are overpaid … they need to get back to reality.. nurses have a job to do but they already have some of the highest salaries in the western world… the NHS is one of the largest employers in the world just below the Chinese army and the Indian railways..😏

RELENTLESS heavy work load .

Reason I do my job is clearly not for the money but because I genuinely care so no I would not want to do the cleaning job for same pay as I would miss supporting patients that need care
@@xsentfromuk8938 So why are you talking about pay levels if you're not doing it for the money?
Very sadly they have to , people will die if the nurses are not healthy. And they can’t afford to live ! Never be ashamed my dear ! It’s the government that should be ashamed and should be on there hands and knees apologising to nurses
Don't forget the Nursing Assistants, working so very hard for little pay and often in private let, so they pay even more just for housing.
I'm an NHS HCA and RCN member. I'm being given a ballot.
I'm being given ballot I'm a hca.. I've been with unison since starting in the nhs from day 1... as I never trust government so got my union from the beginning
yep it was only matter of time before the nurses were next to go
on strike next and I wish them all the best with it too!
National Strike NOW.
You're welcome to pay higher taxes to finance it. Or to choose what to cut to finance it.
@@JonathanCheeseman why don’t you ask the tories where the 35billion went ? Ask them why their not impacting a windfall tax on the oxtortioners , they deserve a pay rise , they pay taxes too and have to work in placements for free for 3 years and a degree only to be paid spare change . Disgusting
@@pStar58 I can do both can't I? Ask those questions and also ask where this pay rise is coming from?

blame the tories for decades of underfunding.
@@smiler3277 What staff on duty?
I've witnessed nhs lack of care also
@@elwolf8536 Yeah they're understaffed and overworked because of lack of funding. Things will slip if they aren't given the resources they need, they're not magicians. We pay far less than most developed countries and until recently have had great health outcomes. The cost of care is increasing as our population ages but funding isn't keeping up. The system is collapsing because of lack of investment by successive Tory governments, this isn't nurses fault who've seen their pay frozen or cut year on year for over a decade meaning people stop being nurses and aren't training to become nurses. It's very simple and easy to fix.
This is a disgrace, how has it gotten to a stage where nurses have to strike, I think they have been used, it's wrong.
They don't "have to", they might choose to.
Yes we are constantly being used and put on increasingly since covid 2020 . Disregarded and expected to put up with it....

'we need more money for the NHS' but we also need a absolutely ridiculous 17% payrise. i got my largest ever payrise this year, 3%. i have worked 22years full time. 17% is more than my pay has gone up in the last 8 years. how about dont go into nursing for the money
You sound absolutely stupid! No one goes into the profession for money but we expect to be paid fairly- me and others are missing out on our own families while looking after others, most of us have to do extra shifts in order to just survive and the majority of us skip our breaks because of the chronic understaffing we know that any tasks that are needed to be done while we're on break won't be done because thr other poor staff are rushed off their feet with their own patient load. Nurses and health care professionals regulay ignore their own health needs to try to meet the needs of their patients to the detriment of themselves.
About time. My mum's been a nurse most of her life and when I got a job at 23 as a forklift driver (in a unionised workplace) I was earning more than her despite her having years of training and decades of experience. She only puts up with it because she cares about the patients so much. Its been an absolute joke
That's her problem then. She should get a job as a forklift driver.
@@JonathanCheeseman Is that your solution for all nurses then? If so then good luck if you ever need any medical attention.
@@LR-jl3sv I doubt there are enough forklift driver vacancies for all the nurses.
But if you want to earn more money, go for a job that pays more money. If you can't find one, settle for what you've got.
@@JonathanCheeseman What a sad ignorant little manlet you are
@@JonathanCheeseman many do, they end up leaving UK for places like Australia, Canada, USA etc. that pay higher wages for nurses especially those with specialist skills and experience.
NHS spending has been around £130 billion over the last few years, increasing year on year. If staff aren't being paid enough, then it's the problem of the managers and pen pushers that are wasting extortionate amounts of taxpayer money on wasted ppe, staff that aren't needed e.g. ecg technicians and phlebotomists (nurses and carers can do both)
you do realise inflation means they will spend more each year? also we have more people each year. and the people we have are getting older.
@@kanedNunable don't talk about inflation when the NHS has been wasting billions for years and inflation has only become a serious issue within the last number of years
@Swift BMF I've no clue what you're talking about the only external contractors I've seen within an NHS hospital in Northern Ireland are agency nurses and carers who charge a fair amount. But that wouldn't be the case if the permanent staffs overtime was increased instead.
@@donoman7243 i guess you are familiar with pfi funding , that blair introduced into the NHS , Swift points to this by saying the NHS pays over the odds for anything now run by private initiative ,(companies ) be they cleaners , porters , receptionists , maintenance etc , i certainly picked this up from Swifts post Dono , would you agree this does shine light on this and now you get the gist of Swift's post
i totally agree, i see alot of wastage.
Well GPs have been on strike for the last 2 years, so they might as well join in
Based
Still missing the point. NHS have suffered 10 years of pay cuts. Its morally wrong.
Strike vs staff shortages.
If youre a nurse, short staffing has been an ongoing issue anywhere and still continues to be a daily struggle as a care provider. It has been unsafe and have always been unsafe everyday. Unless people in the healthcare are well looked after as well, they wont see another reason to leave the profession.
Whole country needs to strike and stick at it , either that or let corporations walk all over everyone , you have to hit them with the only language they know ££££s and with what they fear? Unity with all workers , nurses doctors delivery drivers , cafe workers cleaners right across the board needs a wake up these bosses , not more subsidized wages from the government

@2mins 30secs> she describes perfectly the philosophy of "Divide and Conquer". Something that many employers have been plotting towards for many years, and here is the proof, if you ever needed it, that it stifles the collective voice.
I've been a nurse in urology for 21 years and I can tell you, The pay we get compared to these people in government and media is laughable. I get paid £24,000 a year before tax, pension and basic life. while these people don't pay a penny for food, rent or anything really. But they expect us to just get on with it. Last month I had to help a surgeon do a emergency operation, on the ward to save a persons life. I had my hands in the abdomen of this person, while having to stay on longer than I should of, because the lack of staff or care by management. You wonder why we're fed up and want respect.
Spare a thought for us auxiliaries. I'm on £18k. I work 12 hour split shifts days & nights. I'm always tired, I'm abused most shifts because I work in A&E and some of the management treat us like shit on their shoes.

Nobody wants to strike, but they are the only way during these present times in which we are living in.....
What this newscast fails to mention is that in Scotland the offer of 5% is on top of the highest pay already for nurses in rUK. But of course the English media would not wish to let us know that.
Ffs people are struggling to survive the winter never mind Nurses wanting pay a rise
Don't let the Dominion vote counting machines check the vote though 😜
Doctors and nurses should be paid on their performance, the care is so bad most are lazy and do what they won't
Come and see us work. Some many illnesses from covid, resignations , expensive student grants, rude and demanding patients and early retirement you will be lucky to find even the so called lazy ones to look after you
If all patients are as rude as obnoxious as you can see why you might think that .
Perhaps, rather than making obnoxious comments which are clearly untrue!
You may wish to learn how to write a sentence which is grammatically correct, maybe we should judge you, on your performance with regards to your ability to write and construct a simple sentence!
Thank you!
They do get paid well. Take the whole package,being paid sick pay,good holidays,good pensions,extra for shifts and weekends. And knowing you do a worth while job. Try working in a factory or Amazon for 12 plus hours with out all those perks mind numbing soul-destroying work.
Care workers need to join the nurses
Been a member of union from starting nhs as I know how corrupt the MP fools are.
I am healthcare assistant and awaiting my ballot paper through the post.
Coming for you LIZ TRUST ME
I'm a charge nurse and I fully agree. It's the support workers who are shit on the most by the government.
Nurses that recently had a pay rise.. What the actual fk, 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Just joined Unison. Hopefully, we'll get a decent rise to live on. I don't want to take away someone else's foodbank food they're running out, too but I have no choice. Gas price is insane.
Are you taking the piss....
Best of luck dealing with Unison.
@@michaeldeblone1066 thank you. I on;y ever dealt with German unions so far, they are very powerful and organised.
Yeah but it's only insane for nurses. It's cheap as chips for everyone else.
Union is band dependent on income bracket...
Time to ignore all governments and build a society fit for its people we have people who have the credentials and experience to run this country we don't need government time to turn our back on them
Remember this!!! the Tory party has given a clear FU to the nurses as a thank you
NHS budgets keep increasing. It's one of the biggest employers in the world.
Huh? NHS just isn’t fit for purpose.
I agree the Tories should control immigration though which is a direct cause of the problems.
Coming for you LIZ TRUST ME NOT
Ask NHS how many NHS staff LIKE ME have been permanently disabled in line of duty so badly will never work again! I was abandoned by Poole Hospital after serious injuries, they misled tribunal etc! I WON!
Congratulations, marvelous, wonderful, well done!! There's probably nobody else anywhere ever who has suffered an industrial injury.
That's how government are ... all replaceable staff..
Illness injury.. they don't give a toss..
Government also replaceable.
Is WRONG how they cast staff aside when it suits them.. you did well to win... 👍
Must be nice to have job security working for the NHS.
We the tax payer pay your salary. Many of us, myself included, Lost our jobs in the lockdowns. It’s taken 18 months to be able to get a full time low paying job.
I don’t have the luxury of a pay rise, or a mortgage, but you want me to pay more of my meagre salary for yours, and I still can’t see my GP in person.
No, you can wait till the rest of the country is able to get back on its feet into employment, to pay tax, to fund your secure job nice pay rise.
Have you tried being on benefits? It doesn’t cover enough for Utility bills and food.
Knuckle down like the rest of us plebes till the economy and employment improves.
This is valid point you make ... all working people contribute to services to access nhs...
Hopefully when you or family need the nhs that access is there and you get what you've paid into.
Sadly this is not looking likely....
Yep, doctors are overpaid, nurses have some of the highest salaries in the world… the NHS is one of the worlds biggest public sector employer, just below the Chinese army and the Indian railways.. yet we only have a population of 68 million compared to their billion..😏
They are taking the living piss, we bailed them out during covid whilst they was just doin stupid ticktock dances same with the gimpy train people, they wouldn’t have a job right now if we didn’t foot the bill, an what do we get in return less then nothing we get shit on.
Well said 👏
As if NHS staff don’t pay tax themselves ? Must be living in La La land and it’s your fault that your in a insecure job , don’t see you raising a fuss when the government wastes 35 billion on a “app” don’t see you complaining when the government lets shell and bp and the rest molest us under their watch . Go raise it up with your real enemies the TORY government l, a nurse is a degree holder and deserves to be paid accordingly, if you don’t like that take your relatives home and get private care then , but I fully support the nurses they work hard and are often understaffed and their degree holders which should be paid accordingly . Also to be a nurse you have to do 3 years work experience for free (wales) so how much have they already paid in, in free labour? Most times doing the same work loads as the qualified nurses , have some respect.
Well, we will be standing outside clapping for you…. I don’t think… should be luck you have job..😏
Same with royal mail, r bosses said we got them thru COVID and helped the companys share prices go thru the roof and now we get told we don't work hard enough but r bosses do get there pay rise
Glad I went private. The NHS just isn’t fit for purpose.
I envy you. I would join you in a heartbeat if I could afford it.
I would also go private if I could afford it... sadly I checked and nope could not..
Have paid for diagnostic s private but that's it.. 👌
The nurses be acting like they’re the only ones who don’t get treated and paid fairly.
no they aren't
@@Adam-zd2bk, They do, but alright.
They aren't. Everyone who isn't paid fairly should be considering strike action. Can't blame them for doing something about their situation.
@@hyperbolic3833, so most of the public? Because 60 to 80% of us are unfairly paid.
@@seafirefr.4751 Yes a general strike is long overdue
Everyone has been pushed to the brink. Everyone is struggling with money.
Hi
I work with people with brain injuries and people with learning disabilities. I worked all through Covid on the front line myself. Sometimes, not going home due to restrictions. Poor pay and conditions at times. Never once went on strike,wouldn't dream of it. Front line,all the time. Long hours stressful conditions, but we carried on. Are we all not struggling?. I'm well trained years of experience and have never been paid a great wage. My question is,who to blame for this. Managers,supervisors, the workers themselves. Surely, this is not just about the government,people need to do their jobs, not strike, and put more people at risk.
No jab no job remember
Good for them
Save our NHS and nurses - Hard-working professionals who take years to qualify, we're losing them not because they hate the job but because they are underpaid for their skills and profession. Until we start treating health care staff with the respect and wages they deserve you can't expect them to stay or come into it. Give our nurses what they deserve our lives depend on it!!!!
Should be results driven pay.
We are 3000 GPs short, what chance do we have of recruiting more nurses?
Maybe if we gave nurses a proper salary from the point of training?
The NHS is out of control and the British public is paying for this substandard care. Tear the thing up.
Yep, the NHS is a black hole for public finance… it gets bigger each year, but the quality gets worse… billions wasted on upgrading the technology which has caused more problems than it has solved.. most doctors and consultants are laughing all the way to the bank… they don’t have to worry about high fuel and food prices, but they want more… unbelievable..🤬🤬

What a crazy world we now live in,everyone is now striking because they want a pay rise!! We are all in 5he same bloody boat,we are all struggling financially, what unions don't realise when they are fighting for their member payrise is that its the rest of us that will pay for it!!!

I'm self employed and think myself lucky I have a job at all. We live in a world of greed now sadly,everyone wants more and more.
Yeah give them more pay, tik tok dances are hard work
I wonder if this will include those who went on furlough whilst their colleagues were already up against it.
Who is worth more - A Nurse or a Politician??
Which of these 2 actually gets on with job in any situation and does,nt make excuses??

Absolute heroes in general not because of covid bollox, should be on footballers wages
so much for patient safety when they are openly stating that they will not treat patients who vote tory
Gotta love the Tories, who only care about themselves, complaining about being treated exactly the same way they treat others. Hypocrites.
I wonder why they don’t want to treat tories 🙄
@@danielgrafton93 It was only one nurse that said that too, yet these muppets like to pretend its some sort of policy.

Like other jobs do not matter at all… Every employee wants the pay rise. Never had a chance of meeting GP since covid time, terrible A&E treatment, rude nurses…. Now they want to get more than they should have delivered.
empathy helps here , put yourself in their shoes , saddled with student debt in hospitals where they are understaffed overworked and stressed to the point of even being rude , we all know it is the enviorment of underfunding and running down the NHS so privatisation looks a good idea , and this is all tory policy , so stand with your fellow working class and sort out the cause of the problem , a tory govt hellbent on making us pay for what our grandparents fought to make free for all generations

How much has Jake Berrys pay gone up over the last 10 years? I bet it's more than 17%
Never mind...they can do another dance video while they are off work. 😂😂😂
The reality is nurses train operators and so on can do this and get better pay.. people on benefits are still more then 9% below inflation and in that situation you can do nothing but accept what your given. But people ignore those needs and brush over it, a lot of people are on benefits because there severely disabled. Because they’ve just been let go from work and so on. I’d like to see this in the news more

Why is it always the well paid that strike ? If theses people can't survive on over £30. 000 then they are doing some thing seriously wrong.
income is one thing , but i wonder if you have tallied in outgoings ? i think not as you would realise that many in the healthcare service are skint and struggling
@@tomfinney3416 Silly me.... patronising s.... I wonder if you have considered the fact the Nurses are far better paid than others, so if they can't survive 🤔 how on earth do you think others are. Carers, support workers. ...which may I point do much longer hours.
@@belladonnasartofhealing5573 Well he told you - their "outgoings" are high. Fuel, rent, food etc costs more for nurses than anyone else. Apparently.
@@JonathanCheeseman 🤣 Good point 🤔
It's because you work for private care providers and some franchise companies. You get mugged by these as they line own buisness pockets..
This is why staff is short across all sector s now and bed blockers in hospital unable to get supported at rehabilitation, nursing homes and packages of home care... yes these carers need pay to live... agreed 👍...
Government ignore this to...
So by nhs striking can only be a positive for all care sectors as its a knock on effect... just like sacking of carers in these setting for declining to be vaccinated.. nhs 100 k stood strong in numbers and now it's no longer mandatory to be vaccinated.. so yes it's knock on effect..
Domestic in CDU. It's mental almost on daily basis. If nurses are busy so everybody else most of the time. Porters, cleaners, catering and medical stuff.
This is a joke, these nurses basically leaving people to die, see what’s just happened in Thailand to them poor kids and these selfish people thinking about money, Nurses should be nurses for the good of people,
That proves how vital nurses are and therefore they should be valued and paid better.
This is true they do deserve higher pays, this is not how the world works unfortunately, they should get a onlyfans account if they want the money
Solidarity! 👏👏👏
I'm waiting to see government saying "But but but ... TFL drivers make 50k, they are being greedy!" 🤣

Yep, I’ve seen it too… but maybe they are waiting for their break..😂😂
Utter nonsense.
Must tell me where maybe I can job swap
🤣 😂
Tell that to staff on wards like A&E, AMU and elderly care wards. A&E is 12 hours on your feet. We get one 30min break in the 12.5 hours we are on duty. Last week I was on nights. I had to be in handover at 7pm even though we don't officially start (ie get paid) until 7.30pm. We took over from the day staff and hit the ground running as usual. I got my dinner break at 3.15am. Even though I only live 1 mile from the hospital I drive because my legs are too tired to walk home. Imagine me asking you to start walking at 7.30pm and not to stop until 7am the next day. You'd think I was insane but that's what we do.
I don't want a medal of even praise, but it just boils my piss when ignorant people like you spout utter shite about us. It's amazing how you slag us off until you're in so much pain you need us to help you piss in a bottle at 3am in a ward full of drunks, drug addicts and dying patients. Then you want to be our best mate.
Maybe you can work in nhs as well so you can sit most of your days.
There is huge number of doctors and nurses going to other countries like Australia, Canada or Middle East because the pay is crap in UK.
They're just like everyone else when it comes down to it - happy to chase the dollar.
They must get as much as MPs including benefits .
Respect to nurses who work so hard
Do other people work hard?
Rightfully so. Shambles. The NHS need to change the payscale. A nurse who is highly trained gets paid the same, has the same benefits as a receptionist working in NHS who has no qualifications. Nurses and other qualified health workers take on greater risks. Can't be right.
And too many managers in the NHS
Interesting Bull...t! A highly trained nurse is very well paid...what planet are you living on!
@@nrclever8167 Indeed! normally it should be Chief Nurse , Matrons, Ward Manager ( Head Nurse) , Charge Nurses then Nurses ( foot soldiers 😊) .But in the case of the NHS there are so many Division heads and Deputies which are all office base.That’s why the organisational chart looks like a periodic table..
That's not how NHS pay banding works at all lmao. Medical secretaries get paid more than administrators because that's a specialised role, like a legal secretary, but nobody taking calls and filing notes all day is earning the same as any nurse. Complete fiction.
I'm an auxiliary nurse. I'm involved in life saving work just like nurses yet I'm at the bottom of the band scale. I hope they don't forget about us.
No you don't, you think you are, but the truth is that you don't have the tasks they have, don't be so entitled. It is like listen to a flight attendant complaining that she doesn't earn as much as a pilot or an air controller.
Although your job is essential as well, of course, but don't fool people or yourself.
@@Daniel-nt5gh
Yes if a patient needs resuscitation healthcare assistant would start basic life support on the patient straight away after raising the alarm .
So we do not perform surgery or give medication..
However the fact is yes we do act when patients need resuscitation
@@Daniel-nt5gh Please don't tell me what my job entails. I work in A&E. The only things registered nurses do that we don't are dispense drugs & triaging patients. Us auxiliaries perform venepuncture (taking blood) & canulate (some registered nurses don't do this), we perform ECGs, apply back slab casts on fractured limbs, record vital obs, carry out urinalysis checks, record fluid balances, obtain blood cultures, remove sutures, provide end of life care & carry out last offices on deceased patients, we are involved in log rolls on spinal injury patients, we provide personal care, obtain and process blood gas readings, perform CPR when necessary, we monitor patients looking for any deterioration or danger signs, we retrieve and check blood bags for blood transfusions, we 'special' dementia patients, we have to check and re-stock equipment (this is known as SOPs), we clean wounds, chaperone doctors, record the activity of mental health patients plus much more. To say we are like flight attendants and nurses are like pilots is a gross misunderstanding on your part and a downright insult. I think that given what we do, we deserve a bit more than a supermarket shelf stacker. Oh and on most shifts we are shouted & sworn at by drunks and drug addicts and occasionally assaulted. I'm not complaining about my job because I love it, but the public think we're just shit shovelers. They don't realise that we are trained in many disciplines. I don't expect the same wage as a registered nurse, but I'd like something that reflects my skill level & the risk element. We carry out invasive procedures. Many staff nurses don't canulate. They come to us to do that.
@@Daniel-nt5gh I can give you recent examples of when I've been involved in saving lives:
1) I went into the wating room at 3:05am & a man was sitting there looking unwell. He told me he had chest pain. I was the only member of staff available, so I performed an ECG on him, which is standard operating procedure. It came back as a STEMI which is the most serious type of heart attack (a blockage in a coronary artery). I pushed him straight round to resus where doctors took over. He was later transported by blue light ambulance to the heart unit at Sheffield Northern general, which is one of the leading heart units in the country.
2) A man collapsed in the car park while walking into A&E. We all rushed out with a trolly, lifted him onto it and while he was being wheeled in, he became unconscious, so I was the one who jumped on top and started performing CPR. Porters and nurses pushed and opened doors and he too was taken into resus.
I'm not wanting any praise or a medal, but the public see us auxiliaries and just think we're like dinner ladies (not that there's anything wrong with dinner ladies). We're not! We are trained medical staff.
Any member of staff in a hospital can end up involved in life saving procedures not just doctors and registered nurses.
And all this for £18k a year. The public get their money's worth with us.
@@Daniel-nt5gh I'm a charge nurse (male version of a sister). I've worked in A&E, AMU, CCU, renal, general wards etc. I know auxiliaries who are more valuable to me than staff nurses. I know auxiliaries who bleed & canulate better than doctors, never mind nurses. Most nurses rarely bleed or canulate because they just leave it for the auxiliaries to do. Trust me, without the auxiliaries & healthcare assistants we'd be screwed. Saying a nurse is like a pilot & an auxiliary is like a flight attendant is utter nonsense. In my opinion the NHS shits on auxiliaries the most regarding pay.
Would be nice to be paid overtime instead of Bank.
