Abstract

Whilst this article was being written, the Government announced that the pay of nurses will be based on productivity. The Trade Unions have announced that they have made a claim to the independent pay review body for a payment of 10% as a pay award, but the RCN indicated that up to 50,000 nursing jobs have been lost between 1992 and 1993. This gives an indication that the future is not so bright for nurses. Under this cloud of uncertainty nurses may deduce that there is a clear message that their job is no longer a job for life. Market forces, contracts, targets and flexibility are the jargon of today's care. Nursing is under threat and attack.
