Re: Nurses ask for more help with petrol costs.
I came here to find a friendly nursing forum and it doesn't seem that way at all.

You kind of get used to the personalities and it usually makes for good debate!

Yeah I get the principle. It's the whining and the " oh we're so hard done by" complaining that gets on my tits. Nurses earn a decent wage these days. I don't hear any of them raising so much as a whimper about the rubbish deal their ancillary worker colleagues in the NHS get.
But also, presumably you use that car outside of work hours, yes? So presumably not all your petrol costs are work-related, yes? And if they pay for all your petrol, why not the car itself? Hell, why should any nurse pay for the shoe leather she uses?
Presumably you have no qualms about buying all of the books, needed by your students, for them then Simpson, as you seem to think that nurses should pay to be able to do the jobs that they are employed to do for others benefit.
You don't do logic, do you Barry?
Yes I do thank you Simpson, what is the difference between expecting a comunity nurse to pay for the overtaxed fuel for their vehicle, so that they can do their job, and you paying for your students books so that you can do yours.

Genuine first-time visitors usually introduce themselves, make a generic friendly comment or ask for help and advice, they never criticise the running of a forum as their first post.
