Amen to that JiK!

Along with degrees in transport management, social studies and most of all my pet hate, UK Nursing 2000, which enables students to qualify as nurses with minimal contact with patients, bed pans, or any other of the day to day challenges of the job.

The upsot is that they go in to hospitals and lord it over nurses who learnrd the job from the bottom up and because they haven't a degree, must obtain one, or wave goodbye to any chance of promotion.

An E grade nurse with twenty years experience does the dirty work for the University tyke, who hasn't learned how and onsiders it beneath her.
