You could always retrain as a human nurse!

NURSING DEGREE WILL MAKE BRITISH HOSPITALS DEADLIEST IN THE WORLD, PLEDGES NHS

16-11-09

NURSES are to undergo a rigorous three-year degree as the NHS launches a new drive to kill people more efficiently.

Officials said the degree is in response to the large number of patients who are still accidentally surviving hospital and are then plagued with costly ill health, disability and a slightly musty smell for the rest of their lives.

Roy Hobbs, a plumber from Devon, was admitted to hospital in June 2007 with relatively minor injuries after crashing his van into a giant granite sarcophagus.

He said: "I knew something was wrong when the nurse was talking to me and asking questions about my injuries, but was addressing my feet.

"Then she made this puzzled sort of humming noise and left the treatment room for a while. When she came back she was carrying a large syringe and what looked like a canister of some sort.

"When I asked her what was in the syringe she just looked at me blankly and shrugged her shoulders. She told me that she needed to inject oxygen directly into my bloodstream so as to make the 'bad thing' go away. You just don't ask questions in a situation like that."

An NHS spokesman said: "By 2013 patients who are administered insane doses of oxygen or poisoned with bugs can be assured that the nursing staff will be trained to finish them off swiftly and aggressively."

The degree course will include modules on the application of animal faeces to cuts and abrasions as well as how to tell the difference between MRSA and Clostridium Difficile and exactly who to give them to.

British nurse must be deadly like ninja, say officials

well, my interview was cancelled an hour before I was due to go in - the second interview in 2 weeks that has at such short notice!
I deflinitely have done something wrong in my life - it's been crap since taking/losing my SVN job!
This time an answerphone message on my mobile half an hour ago to say the post had been withdrawn and all interviews cancelled - surely the NHS knew longer ago than that????? they only sent the confirmation a week ago with all the paperwork that needed signing.
So my path lab job goes in the bin, like everything else these days
Fingers crossed for your job Sal....
Anyone out there got a job for me????

I tried to get into radiography in 2004 at Sheffield - I was told I would have to sit an entrance exam as my A levels were so old which didnt bother me but I was also told that the course and placements were in high demand and although age shouldnt matter it would probably be somebody with more recent knowledge and learning that would get the place - so I stuck it out in vet nursing a bit longer. I used to do 1 day a week in NHS hospital radiography dept and I loved it

my latest attempt to get into NHS is in the path lab - another area that really interests me.

nobody seems to have heard about the employability scheme - including the jobcentre - is a shame been running since 2002. Gives a 6 month partime workplacement within a department so you can learn the necessary skills (with a mentor) to try and get the job for real.

I haven't heard of employability schemes either but radiography is very mature student friendly, there were lots of mature students in both diagnostic and therapeutic in my year. Best of luck xx

have either of you come across NHS employability scheme? if so what are your views and what do you think my chances are of getting a job at the end of it?

I looked into retraining in radiography in 2004 - wish i had got the chance then - but no good wishing I suppose

Unfortunately not. Sorry

I just trawled the internet looking for jobs that paid similar to my trainee vet nurse one, and a job i'd be interested in!

Super good luck though x

I need it! somebody give me a bloody job

I think we must be twins!
I too may be defecting - as my SVN place went woefully wrong, I've applied for various vet nursing assistant, shopworker, and NHS jobs (already had two interviews but not heard back yet).
I have an interview on Thursday for a local hospital - and sorry, it's in the path lab.....
I've also applied for a job as a theatre assistant - hoping to transfer some knowledge across to "the other side".
My sentiments echo yours - can they both give us jobs please! cos we're broke, and in desperate need of any work anywhere....

Keeping my fingers crossed for you as well as for me...
