Nursing staff stretched to breaking point over workloads Findings from the RCN’s recent employment survey show that nursing staff across the UK are under such pressure that six out of 10 say they cannot provide the level of care they want to.
The annual survey, which was first carried out in 1986, also shows that barely a quarter of respondents think their pay is appropriate for the level of responsibility and stress they face at work. Three in 10 say they have suffered physical abuse from patients, or patients’ relatives, in the last 12 months.
The survey also highlighted that health care assistants are increasingly being asked to take on the duties of registered nurses. Royal College of Nursing
