As a librarian, it's my job to help distinguish reliable & accurate sources of information & debunk misinformation (regardless of intent) & disinformation (intended to mislead).With the @theRCN members voting to strike, let’s look at some of the misleading information. A thread🧵
Nursing is a highly skilled graduate profession, not a vocation. It is risk-oriented & patient safety focused. There’s a lot of talk about nurses being paid on average £35,500. That figure is indeed an average; it takes into account the most highly specialised nurses & managers.
In Wales, newly qualified nurses start on band 5 at £27,055 & progress to £32,934 after 4 years, which is the highest salary they can receive, without applying for a new job at a Band 6. Here’s a link to the NHS pay bands 2022-23: bit.ly/3UvgMqN
"The pandemic exposed long-standing problems in the nursing home industry that stem from chronic understaffing and underspending on care for residents — problems often motivated by owners who place profit-seeking above their residents' welfare." #Union newsday.com/opinion/corona…
"Understaffing, for example, is possible — and profitable — because the U.S. regulatory system charged with ensuring that nursing homes provide safe care has failed." #SafeStaffingSavesLives
"Meanwhile, the House Ways and Means Committee has held hearings on the role of private equity in nursing homes. Such investors have decided that nursing homes can be profit centers, and they buy them with the intent of squeezing out more money." #UnionsForAll
