My mum's a nurse and the vast majority of staff and other nurses there actually care about their job and the patients despite the awful pay. However, the way the NHS is being managed and organised at the moment is a bit ridiculous. Too small a budget and too many overpaid manager-type people. That’s probably a bit harsh I would say.
