  • Comment on: Managers must look after nurses' mental wellbeing, says NICE

    Sam Smith's comment 7-Nov-2009 11:56 pm

    I am very fortunate that I work in a Community Mental Health Team that has a suuportive manager who always asks how we are and sets time aside for clinical and caseload supervision. However, I recognise that in many teams this is not the case. In my opinion, there is not enough time dedicated to the staffs own mental wellbeing. It is about time that the higher management started to recognise how stressful our jobs as nurses are. Perhaps then we would have less people going off sick and less people who decide to seek alternative careers.
