Shit patient care bores MentalNurse

Crippen rightly bangs on about how shit nurse training is, and how shit nursing is today. It's a national disgrace that leaves thousands of patients lying in their own shit, piss, blood, and vomit for days on end while nurse sit and do pointless paperwork.

Apparently the fact that shit nursing means degrading, shit care for patients bores MentalNurse:

Dr Crippen reckons he’s got the answer, in the form of an email from a “soon to be ex-student”, allegedly, complaining about the nature of her course. Apparently, there’s too much “theory” (don’t know what of), not enough information on sticking tubes and needles into people and - oh the horror - far too much emphasis on communicating with patients. Something like that. I glazed over, I have to admit, as we’ve all heard this sort of stuff time and time and time again.

To recap: the secret of caring for the patient is caring for the patient.

A fact that MentalNurse seems to have forgotten.

[The rest of the MentalNurse post is well worth reading as it rightly raises issues about bullying and lack of pay - Ed.]
