A shot in the dark

Article Abstract:

The UK government is providing 9 million pounds sterling to help recruit extra nurses to help carry out a vaccination programme which should cover up to 15 million people. School nurses will spear head the campaign which will introduce a newly developed meningitis C vaccination. Nurses will be required to offer advice to parents who may be anxious about vaccinations being given to their children.

Pressure gauge

Article Abstract:

Nurses are discontent, working too many shifts in succession, and want to feel more valued, according to the Royal College of Nursing (RCN). The RCN believes that the government needs to find a long term way of solving the shortage of nurses. If the 2000 pay award is insufficient, the good of the 1999 recruitment campaign and pay award will be undone, according to the nursing body.
