In a hospital ward and A&E etc
Because I have had the displeasure of being admitted twice in 2 months and noticed no caring at all from nurses
They were too busy with notes, ward round help, medication rounds, checking people over to assess them a lot
No bed changing or bed baths. Didn't help anyone with toileting at all, from what I saw
Is this usually the case now and it's all just down to HCAs?
Not a dig at nurses. I saw for myself that they were quite literally running from one task to the next
For someone who's not in the know though, it very much felt like being nursed was from the HCA ladies
I am interested in the job, a lot. But I wonder how accurate HCA work is to really get a feel for it - Because they're too different now and nurses pins are assumably at stake if they mess up etc? So the pressure is different
