RCN slammed for using nurse shortage to bargain on pay

Article Abstract:

The RCN is unable to provide exact figures about nurse shortages, and therefore should not use this issue as a weapon in its battle to improve pay rates for nurses, according to some observers. At a recent RCN conference which focused on motivation and morale, speakers reported that nurse morale is at very low levels and that there is clear circumstantial evidence of nurse shortages, even if no definite figures are available.

Fresher approach

Article Abstract:

New students at Forth Vallely College of Nursing and Midwifery are made fully aware of all the support services which are available if they experience financial or emotional problems. College staff are very aware of the need to be responsive to individual needs, and take both a proactive and a reactive approach. Senior students play an active role in advising younger students.
