catmag 336 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Programme on tonight - channel 5 at 8pm. Gail Porter, Janet Street-Porter and Sean Hughes get a taste of what it's like to be on the front line of the NHS for 2 weeks at a hospital in Barnsley. Should be interesting if anyone wants to see what we really do all day. I just hope they didn't get paid shitloads of money to then stand there and say "I can't believe nurses get pais so little for what they do..etc..etc" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrokles Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 If I were a patient, I'd be more than a little miffed that my health and well-being were being entrusted to d-list celebs rather than trained nurses, for the sake of good TV.

They weren't left to look after anyone on their own - I think the nurses would have been struck off if that were the case. they shadowed the staff that were on duty.

The Fish 10659 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I don't think anyone thinks "They can Nurse" in the way the title of the program suggests. I think it's well accepted that nursing is a fucking hard job, with little or no respite. sucks to be you Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 If I were a patient, I'd be more than a little miffed that my health and well-being were being entrusted to d-list celebs rather than trained nurses, for the sake of good TV. Well it'd kill two birds with one stone (although unfortunately probably a lot of patients too) and help with staffing issues whilst also getting something productive out of those D, E and Z list "celebrities" beside 16,000,000 tons of day-glo fluorescent magazines each week.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 My mates lass is a nurse and tbh she can barely cope with the weekly shop never mind a patient, hate to be in her care if the truth was known.

Something wrong there. Something very wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
