Okay Nurses (and everyone else) this is a call to arms. This is war. I hope that everyone reading this sends The Times a letter. I have sent a few comments in. I hate liars. The Times is officially on my shit list now.
Here is another shining example of Journalism.

1. ITU nurses take better care of their patients than ward nurses because they are paid more and care more. WTF?
2. ITU nurses are so superior that they never have patients starving or lying in their own filth.
Not one statement is made of the fact that an ITU has one patient and mega back up and a ward nurse has anywhere from 10-35 patients with NO backup.
Not once is it mentioned that patients on the wards now would have been in ITU a few short years ago. Patients are more sick and more complicated today while staffing levels are falling dramatically.
This is like some kind of nightmare. We are never going to get our wards safely staffed if this is how people think.
