  • Community Nurse in Sussex, £34,500 gross pa, 37.5 hours (paid) plus 5-10hours /week not paid or claimed back - must be owed about 15 years in time! Salary frozen for last 2 years. BSc in Communjty Nursing and nursing qualifications, qualified as a staff nurse 1985 and Community Nurse in 1996.

    Cons
    Very rare chance of promotion, few opportunities to do any other training apart from compulsory ie. fire lecture, equality and diversity etc
    Less and less time nursing, more and more time doing paperwork eg a referral used to be 1 sheet of A4, now it's about 17 and has to be put on the computer, hard copy sent to patient, put in records, sent to central office after being checked by colleague! Time taken in total can be 2-5 hours depending on the complexity of the situation/patient.
    No proper breaks, often dehydrated and needing a wee! Have developed good bladder control over the years ( should I put that in the pros?)
    40p a mile for petrol/wear and tear, hasn't gone up in years.
    Have had sleepless nights worrying about patients
    Stressful and full on most of the time
    More important to record data than visit patients

    Pros
    33 days holiday plus BH- have to save 5 days leave in case the children are unwell
    contributory final salary pension scheme 6% - couldn't be described as gold plated!
    Great colleagues
    Can go to childrens Christmas play.......but can feel guilty if it's commented on.
    Can get a few discounts with local businesses
    6 months sick pay
    Can retire at 55 - lots of colleagues have retired and returned to work for 2-3 days a week as they can't manage on the pension

    On the whole, it's a rewarding job, but is no longer the job I did my degree for, and is becoming more office based for the qualified staff, our support staff are visiting patients more than we do and have more training!

    Brilliant thread, makes me realise how lucky we are! :)
    Thinking critically since 1996....
  • I do one-to-one tutoring at £25 per hour (really a third of that as often 2 hours spent in prep); a little admin at £7.15 per hour and I distribute eco-friendly products at commission of 33% plus. I like variety in my life!:rotfl:
