Isn't it about time that the number of registered nurses/midwives to patients on a ward was legalised?
I have just retired from nursing after 36 years. Part of the reason for retiring early was due to not being capable of doing the impossible. We used to think it was our birthdays if we got a lunch break. Management would just mumble about time management skills, but how is it possible to leave a ward/department if you are the only qualified?
Planes cannot take off if the required number of staff are not present due to safety issues. Well how safe is a nhs patient if their nurse has another 15 dependent patients also to look after.
