I bet she'd be over the moon you posting her salary and job description.

The people who do the most important jobs get paid the least. Look at nurses – they work stupid hours too and only get around 15 grand a year. Sucks imo.

I just got a out of hospital a few days ago and what the nurses do for the shit money is ridiculous.
- Doctors can earn 4 times as much and do half the workcreative-

Nice of you to put a smiley in there Graham.....real nice. I bet you'd crumble at the thought of doing any work like this....so fucking ignorant and smug.
I wouldn't call that a rubbish job, I'd call it rubbish pay for a job that needs doing.

for what it's worth, if you can hear right up there on that high horse, i was laughing at the fact that it took something like that to make me happier in my job.
i respect what she does and thought it was shocking when she told me what she used to get paid - i thought there'd be some kind of "this job is not nice, but the pay makes up for it" kind of thing

1 British pound = 1.9857 U.S. dollars
as per google.... so approximately 30k in US.she must be a low level nurse, or do they have levels in GB?
in US, we have Nurse asst, nurse, LPN, RN.Nurse assts basically wipe ass and get paid shit (no pun intended) but I believe RNs can clear about 80k to 100k per year.
- ah ok, yeah i had to assume it would be 2 or so... still that does suck734

To be honest, doctors don't get that much money here. That's why they spend like 5 minutes on each person, and why many move to the U.S. and other places.
Maybe it's a drawback of universal healthcare.

A lot of my relatives are doctors and nurses, and yes, nurses do not get paid all that much. However, my aunt makes around $50-55k in Toronto and she just started her nurse job about two years ago.

If you watch that movie Sicko by M. Moore you would see doctors in GB fare pretty well.
Also, that Universal Healthcare is a cool thing.
