I'm a new-ish AHP and starting a new job in September. It will be my 2nd role since graduating. I'm not in nursing but I am aware of the stresses of that job.
I do like my role but have experienced some bullying but most people have been lovely, the pay is ok, the pension is good and there will always be jobs in pandemics and recessions. The degree course was especially interesting.
Of course I have some idea why there are staff shortages and subsequent workload but just wanted to gather your thoughts and see if my suspicions are correct.
Would also be great to hear from people who actually did leave and reasons why.
AIBU?
To wonder why healthcare is so short staffed.

Bullying culture
People who are bullied get burnout and leave
The bullies are rewarded and promoted to more and more senior positions
There are of course policies on bullying but they are not worth the paper they are written on. HR always back the senior manager in any disputes.
