Comment on: Many nurses lack basic training in palliative and end of life care
I am not surprised. I have been working in the Intensive care for the past 10 years and still we have no a proper protocol to care for dying. Although, we have now Liverpool Care Pathway to assist with this process, there still be a dilemma whether to follow or not. It is all due to training issues. Now, it is agreed that every staff will have a training on this topic and yearly updates and I hope, this will change the situation soon.

Comment on: Nursing to become degree-only profession
I welcome this proposal. But, I query how this is going to influence the future prospect of nursing? Will this influence the care that the patients receive? or Will it affect the way that the nursing is perceived by the public? or Will it cause better pay for nurses? Neither will result. It might only improve the prospect of nurses being prepared for taking more advanced role. The future candidates may be proud of being a degree holders but, not as nurses. It also results in more people get into degree nursing ,as it is easier to grab a degree in nursing compared with its counterpart. It is also another less work for curriculam planners and universities.
