Freelancing

Freelancing, sounds fun but isn't really. In the U.K. Nursing has followed an American model, where Nurses are nowadays expendable commodities. The employers see no interest in nurturing them, and reluctantly keep them clinically updated; they have a legal requirement to hire them, and in a sense resent that. So in no time at all they get through them like no bodies business, if a manager gets through seven nurses in as many months, their employer really does not care as long as their investment passes CQC inspection. I remember when I worked at BUPA at one site, and they got through five managers and nine unit managers in two years!. So after a while as a Nurse you become quite savvy to their spins and lies, you know that its no fault of your own, but for extremely bad management, and the fact that other professionals around you are leaving in droves. The average nursing home manager lasts about two years at the most. So here I am again, running around prostituting my C.V. and stressing out. There are times when I wish I could settle down in to a nice quiet and established home for a good few years or so, is this such an impossible dream?.
