called lazy by nurse

[flowershow09]

I came in this morning about 11 o clock and a car was parked on the pavement blocking my drive, so I parked my car next to it. Then I saw a nurse come out of another house so I said excuse me don't park there, I can't get in. The nurse laughed. She then drove off and had her windows down and I heard her say on the phone 'some lazy cow had to walk a whole 100 yards.'

Unfortunately that's the state of mental health services. I've been offered an AP role but I didn't take it as the hours were too difficult to for childcare around, lack of funding and development mean that many qualifiers go to agencies for the money, and in a situation where there's a choice between an agency who's never stepped foot in a hospital before and a steady hands HCA with years of experience under their belt there often isn't any choice.

But that's another thread entirely, sorry to derail.
