Salaries starting from around £21,000 up to say £35,000+ for a Band 5 Midwife is hardly Peanuts.

Most also enjoy the work and get really good job satisfaction from it. :p
 
I think just ducking out of that was a bad move, as mentioned, speak to your boss, see wha he has to say, if nothing comes of it, look for a new job whilst your in this one..

We all have bad times in work, especially on a support desk dealing with 1st/2nd and 3rd line support dealing directly with the customers
 
6 months is going to require explaining on the C.V. to your next employer too..

"So, you left after 6 months, why was that?"
"I was having trouble adjusting to the role"
...<scribbles furiously>

I think NHS Nurses are underpaid. Not by much, but underpaid all the same.

*About to be a student nurse*

I am willing to be underpaid for good job satisfaction. Doesn't change the fact nurses should be paid more. :p
 
Always silly to leave work without finding a replacement job beforehand, I've seen a lot of people fall into this and even learnt that personally myself.

Why would anyone say that? I have a lot of respect for someone who will leave a company if they are not happy with something.

If you can find work, this is as a direct result of hard work on your part either in the past or at the present. Anyone who can't find work was either too lazy in their education, or is too lazy to do the work available in this country right now.

Good luck finding a job where you're happy, or improving your current position. Don't let a sense of loyalty or owing hold you in a bad role.

nursing is a 2-3 year university level course.

Lmao.

Not to be accepted in the first place. Plenty of my friends have done nursing courses, if it was university level for 2-3 years the qualifications to take these girls on when they left school would be higher.

They do a good job for what they are required to do but lets not make it out to be a higher level of education required than it is. Leave the sun to the 'our underpaid angels' stories.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_nurse#pre-registration


In order to become a registered nurse, and work as such in the NHS, one must complete a program recognized by the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Currently, this involves completing a degree or diploma, available from a range of universities offering these courses, in the chosen branch specialty (see below), leading to both an academic award and professional registration as a 1st level registered nurse. Such a course is a 50/50 split of learning in university (i.e. through lectures, essays and examinations) and in practice (i.e. supervised patient care within a hospital or community setting).

i think you may be confusing nurses with Healthcare Assistants.
 
Ok I will ask another way, what level of qualification do you require do start training to become a nurse. If the nurses training was mentally challenging you wouldn't get accepted with a C in home economics.

Anyway this is taking the thread OT. Apologies to the Op.
 
No mater how much you hate your job being unable to find another one and being long term unemployed will make you feel a hell of a lot worse.

Either stick with it or look for another job but just handing in your notice without having another job would be a big mistake.

They start on about 21k and have lots of opportunities to improve upon that. Better than 5.20 an hour at JD Sports?

Edit: didn't read the thread it would appear several people have already pulled you up on this :d

Indeed 18-21k is a very healthy starting salary for most parts of the country.

Sorry but I LOL'd at this comment. My gf went through 3 years of Uni to be a nurse, can't say the same for the cleaning trade. She is on £21k (which is low for a graduate), 12 hour shifts, and do have to put up with a lot. All nurses now have to graduate from Uni & not school leavers. Try getting facts right 1st :)

Back to the OP, in my 1st job I was the same, handed in my notice and got a £6k payrise :), I didnt feel like I could talk to my boss about how crap the job was, only felt I could tell him about the good side of things!

Correct you won't. They require 5 GSCE grade C and above or an equivilant qualification. For those doing the university course A levels are also required.
