beginings

This blog will be the thoughts, experiences and life of working in the nhs, from a charge nurse perspective.

My reason for starting this blog is that over the past year or so I have read many nursing blogs, however, they all seem to come from either a student nurse perspective or some clinical specialist or other who sounds as smug as a pregnant woman (it's a song, don't blame me, yet).

I hope to tell tales from the charge nurse point of view, which to my mind (and yes, I am biased) is the fairest of all, as the charge nurse is always caught in the middle between the 'troops' and the politicians (managers).

I may, or may not work as charge nurse (either now or ever) but I will confess to access to at least one who has many years experience , mainly, but not exclusively, in mental health nursing and in a variety of settings.

Enough of the waffle, enough covering my back, lets get this shit started....
