Being motivated by money is probably one of the biggest problems in the world today.
If I could bottle it and give to every potential carer, then those who need looking after would be the ones to feel the benefit.
I do hope that doesn't sound trite or conceited - it isn't meant to.

Well I have to say money has never been King with me either Margaret, so long as I've had enough to satisfy my needs that's all I've ever really wanted, nursing first and foremost to me must be about caring, which doesn't always seem the case today, to be a nurse today you need to be a university grad, but you don't learn caring in the classroom it comes from inside. Its the same with care in the community which I know about first hand, I've been lucky I've had some marvelous people coming into my home and very very few poor ones probably two in two and a half years. Even after my main carer, George, was struck down with illness, I've had some really good people around me and the good news is George could be back shortly which is even better news for him than it is for me, because he'll have won his battle for fitness
