footballers giving up pay for nurses!

[saralou100]

started by west ham skipper, nigel reo-coker, premiership players have been asked to give up 1days pay in an appeal, mayday for nurses...

out of 556 premiership players, just 71 have signed up to this!

an average premiership wage is £12,300 per week... with some of the top clubs players earning up to £100,000 per week.

of the 4 top clubs (chelsea, liverpool, arsenal and man utd) only 4 players have signed up. chelsea and liverpool have no takers!

readigs entire squad have signed up.

their arrogance is something to be ahamed of!

Please do not compare nursing with shop work,cleaning,burger work,teaching assistant,child minding and whatever else has been mentiones.
All of the above are important,yes,BUT Nursing is a profession,an increasingly Graduate profession at that,involving many layers of responsiibility,professional accountability ,continuous assessment and training,and ultimately we hold peoples lives in our hands.
I am proud to be a nurse and would not want to do anything else,but the reality of the job at the moment is depressing,and if this raises awareness then that can only be a good thing.
