A young friend of mine has just qualified as a registered children's nurse. Jobs in this area are limited at the moment and she applied for a post in a day nursery, which advertised for a 'registered paediatric nurse', and which ensured she showed her NMC PIN number before being allowed to apply. She got the job, and since starting has found that she is literally working as a nursery nurse, on £6 an hour. Qualified nurses start on over £21,000 per annum. The nursery advertise that they have a registered nurse working there, introduce her to new parents as the nurse, and yet pay her the same as the rest of the staff. And on top of it, she is not using any of her nursing skills, which she has gained throughout her 3-year degree! Is this exploitation or what?! And what can be done about it, without her getting a bad name which might affect future 'proper' nurse jobs??! She is applying for nursing jobs at the moment, and the managers of the nursery are proving difficult about her going for interviews! She is such a lovely young girl, and I am disgusted by this! AIBU?! Is there anything that can be done about it?! Thanks all!
