1) As a Black woman, I used to work as a nurse, I experienced enormous, blunt racism and hatred from whites, Asians, white Jews and Indian patients. 2) For example: from a specific racist white nursing teacher- extreme racism and targeting and hatred, threats, and deliberately falsifying of information to try and have me arrested, while she is mocking me during the entire incident, that is one example of some of the wicked things white people have done to me. 3) extreme racism from racist white nursing staff and racist Asian nursing staff in the hospitals. 3) extreme racism from patients in the hospital and in the home. For example, a previous homecare nursing case: I went to the home to attend to a white male patient. Within ten minutes, the house phone rings and his white wife now in the kitchen answers the phone, she deliberately is raising her voice loud, loud for me to hear and says, "YES THE NURSE IS HERE, BUT SHE IS BLACK!" I was immediately removed from the case by the family and was replaced by Asian and white nurses, but told by the nursing agency, sorry the client states they no longer need a nurse, which was the usual answer and obvious lie. I’ve had to deal with racial slurs, and other verbal abuse and physical violence from racist patients. I do not miss nursing.
I am a Black nurse (band 5) working for the NHS, and I am passionate about diabetes care. I approached my line manager to express my interest in becoming the diabetes link nurse for our ward, but he told me no. Currently, we have two band 4 link nurses-one of whom has been on long-term sick leave for over a year, while the other works night shifts and is not available during the day when newly qualified nurses need help with insulin and diabetes-related issues. Although there are opportunities for advanced diabetes management courses provided by my Trust for nurses, I feel that I am being overlooked, perhaps because of my race. I am eager to expand my knowledge, especially since diabetes runs in my family and I have experienced gestational diabetes myself. My goal is to become a diabetes specialist nurse in the future, and I refuse to let these obstacles deter me from pursuing my passion.
There was no such person as Marie Seacole..there are fake black nurses from Nigeria who distort the system evert year and it was Enoch Powell who gave the Caribbean nurses theit jobs and hardly anything to do with Windrush
Hi there, sorry for the delay in our response. Thank you very much for flagging this error with us. This was autogenerated by RU-vid and as you say, it should be Adolphe Quetlet. We have now rectified this error. Thank you for your time in letting us know.
The point about paramedics only proves that AfC can be used in apropriate way for people in different sections of the NHS. If anything you should be arguing for that as a standard within the AfC terms and conditions for all staff. Why go against the very ethos of collective action by segregating yourselves?
How did that second dose work out for you? Seeing how you knew nothing about the one going in, but you just trusted the words that were told you. How's that working out for you if you can Remember or have the gods to actually Admit When you might have been wrong, it's ok, man, it's human. And did that vaccine help at all or was it all in your head like a placebo? So what did that vaccine do to your body? Oh, we're still waiting to KA couple 100000 dead enough. No problems here you guys are hilarious.
All these assertions that "black women saved the NHS". are just that, without any facts or figures to back them up. According to NHS records, the number of nurses from Africa and the West Indies equated to 1 percent, rising to 2 percent by the late sixties; total recruitment being roughly 5000. It is ridiculous to suggest that two percent of the workforce somehow saved the NHS. The recruitment from Northern & Southern Ireland over the same period meanwhile, was six times this at 31,000 (source: NHS) but don't expect to hear about the Irish contribution, or how 'the Irish saved the NHS' any time soon. This myth is now so entrenched it is unlikely ever to be challenged; anyone daring to question it being labelled racist.
A very interesting video to inform the decolonisation work we are trying to move forward in medical curriculums in healthcare settings. Thank you, and heartbreaking in particular to hear the experience of the sickle cell patient at the end - hope to see more breakthrough.
