Hello people!

@Wildboar I work in A&E. I enjoy it about 65% of the time but the pressures and stress is very hard. At work I feel stressed most of the time and a lot of the time when I'm at home thinking about work.

@MsMightyTitanAndHerTroubadours- seen AND heard it all before!!!

Do you think nurses should be able to prescribe at least some medicines?

Do you get fed up with people asking for medical advice?

@jewel1968 some
Nurses do prescribe. They have to do additional study

@jewel1968 as @itbemay1 said, nurses can prescribe once they've done an additional course. We can also give certain medications under a patient group directive.
