Comment on: First union rejects Agenda for Change proposals
I am totally fed and tired at the ways and manners the NHS and the govenment are treating the nurses'. We are been treated as "If you like it take it, if you do not like it leave" No where apart from the third world and UK are nurses' treated in this way. We nurses' have always been in the frontline with patient care as our top agenda and we delivers the care no matter what has been thrown at us all. It is very shameful if some bunch of pen pushers are seating down determining how our pays are to be reviewed hiding behind the Agenda for change. If we nurses' could strike like the bus/train drivers, and the doctor maybe all these rubbish would have come to some sort of speak to them first before you decide on their pay. I have this view, care for patients are going to suffer if not already with the care nurses' are de;livering these days. It is high time we all have a union that can really speak on our behalf. FULL STOP.

Comment on: 'Care will suffer if staff satisfaction is neglected'
I am not suprised at the outcome of this survey. Staff morales are at the lowest. I work as a nurse and have the vast experience needed for my job. The govenment and the managers are not worried as far as they are able to make cut to the disadvantage of staff and mainly the patients. I have seen more that 6 wards closed since 2009 and this continues to be the case. My pay rise is been frozen for sometime now and forensic lead is been reduced until finally taken away for working in a mediium secure unit. Although, I continue to feel the need to deliver 100% care to the patients, but it is only a matter of time. To be candid, nursing is becoming a joke with no future. I cannot afford to buy my own house, my pension is reduced as I have to work longer until I am probably not able to enjoy the pension when it comes. Staff morale will continue to drop, I think most nurses are just putting on a brave face.

Comment on: NMC launches consultation on planned fee hike
58% registration rise is totally unrealistic, I do see how increasing the registration protects the general public. What Am I paying for. It is not a case of me being considered as unfit to practice hence the need to pay more for my registration. I cannot see the justification for me paying such amount. My wage is not rising with the inflation, to be honest, my forensic lead is stopping very soon and nothing could be done for me, so why should i be subjected to such stupid increase.
