Not quite an Aibu but need advice as I'm torn.
I've worked for the nhs for 17 years. I qualified December 2020 , slap bang in the middle of an pandemic.
I have seen disregard towards patient safety and staff well-being.
I'm not prepared to risk my registration and my own health, already dropped my hours. I am being moved to areas leaving my own ward dangerously understaffed.
I appreciate this is all over the nhs and care in general at the moment.
I have found and applied for another job.
But I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing. It's still with the nhs but office based, in a area I'm interested in.
Same hours but less pay as now.
I just feel like I'm putting in datix all the time regarding dangerous situations, falls, patient care and attacks on staff by patients as we are so under staffed.
No one cares.
I'm probably in the wrong job for caring and need to go Aldi .

One thing you really need to understand is that the NHS does not care about you at all. You could keel over and die and they would just replace you. So your priority has to be your own physical and mental health. The NHS pension scheme is pretty good, but the rest of it is pretty thankless IME.
