Re: Degree Level for nursing

Nurses appear to be doing tasks that were once only done by doctors.
This saves on costs of employing more doctors, but it leads to a 'class system' amongst nurses.
This means that more than one nurse is needed to care for a patient, and the 'upper class' wont do the 'lower class' duties.(demarcation)
For most of you, this system has always been so, but when the NHS originated there was only one type of nurse - an SRN, who did everything for that patients care.
The old system meant better personal care. Responsibility wasn't divided, so lapses in care couldn't be blamed on others.
