Student NHS nurses reveal what drew them to the profession - BBC Newsnight 

Health care profession is kind of stressful job indeed. Doctors and nurses need to be recognized for thier effort and dedication on their job. Payment is one of the main causes of unsustainable and shortage of healthcare staffs.

It takes a special kind of person to work in health care not for the money but provide care to people x

I respect nurses. They directly care for another human being.

This was a very heartfelt and insightful interview. Well done ladies for such inspiring interview responses, I do hope you all receive the support that you so rightly deserve. Also I don’t understand why the government are still charging students £20-30k to study nursing? Surely the degree should be free to study. Also a majority of nurses have to pay for their own parking and shoes!

The government need to respect these nurses . Pay these nurses properly

I'm sure that being told they should learn to budget by Tory MPs who've wasted hundreds of billions of taxpayer's money wasn't why they got into nursing! Solidarity with the nurses and all striking workers across the UK. #EnoughIsEnough #ToriesOut

Never mind all this. The government just have to look at the current situation - the salaries they're offering is leading to a shortfall of tens of thousands of nurses - they can simply find a better paid job with less stress. Supply and demand.

Pay these upcoming nurses properly otherwise more of problems for the future!

i know its not for the money especially in the NHS and the governments lack of support of home grown nurses

Pay good salary to the nurses.

Really well articulated response. I'm so happy these nurses spoke on behalf of the current state of the NHS. This is the reality of slashing pay and funding.

No good deed shall go unpunished. These people will be punished severely by distressing work conditions and a pittance of a wage, for the crime of caring for others.

FREE TUITION FEES !!!!

Taking care of others, it is one of our humans' natural abilities. It is inborn and it should be inherited from our parents, who took care of us when we were still children. We are all inspired by them, no matter whether you are nurses or not. However, then, what tells nurses apart from laymen? As everyone is supposed to know what 'care' is about, especially now we all can access so much information online via RU-vid and Wikipedia etc., nurses are still different from the general public. We know how to care, and how to do it right. We know how to give medications to our patients in a safer way. We know how to take care of patients with different physical and mental illnesses. We also have a holy commitment to our profession. We stand with the poor and the needy. Just like what a famous Japanese writer, Haruki Murakami, said, between a high, hard wall and a fragile egg, we, nurses, should always stand on the side of the egg.

Disable the comments section for all videos and you will be helping more people than all these nurses combined.

I'm about to qualify as a nurse. Throughout my journey to becoming a nurse, I've experienced firsthand the dedication and hard work required to meet patients' needs, even with the burden of heavy caseloads on a daily basis. It's frustrating that student nurses receive a mere 0.28p per mile for fuel costs (if it’s further away than the distance you travel to uni from your home/accommodation so if you live close, you get nothing), and the time spent traveling to and from placements can be quite challenging. However, it's a relief that full expenses for parking, bus, and train tickets are provided when receipts are kept. If staying in accommodation, you get partially refunded.cAs students, we don't receive any pay during placements, and we need to complete at least 2300 hours to qualify as nurses. Nurses handle diverse responsibilities across different fields, be it inpatient, community, or GP settings. The demand for our services continues to rise due to an aging population and an increase in multi-comorbidity. Working as a nurse in the NHS can be highly stressful. The never-ending paperwork and frequent understaffing put immense pressure on us. I've witnessed scheduled appointments being canceled, leading to a backlog of work and healthcare professionals sacrificing their breaks to meet the demands. To cope, many nurses I know take up bank shifts alongside their 37.5-hour full-time hours to manage financial burdens, as NI and tax are deducted from our monthly salary. Despite all the challenges, my determination to work as a nurse remains strong because I deeply understand how essential our role is. People rely on us, and the opportunity to be there for our patients drives me forward.

We hope all is well ✍🏻

So creditable speeches by nurses

“Ultimately it’s about patient safety” so we won’t show up to work en masse unless we get a 19% raise. People actually believe this bs.

The NHS is a brilliant concept that has got out of control. Expanding into mega hospital resorts is bring the NHS spending into overdrive. As an example I remember local Hospitals that were loccal and a lot smaller, run by the lead Consultant and Administrator. They hired, fired and purchased evrything becuaese they were hands on and at ground level. Thats what the NHS needs to be.

Did anyone realise the baby doll that moves behind 😂😂

I can’t get the logic of striking and leaving the patients unattended an action for the patience, what’s the logic here?

Nurses are leaving the profession because they can no longer survive on the pay. That’s the reality.

5;58 baby doll at the back was moving its hand that's so spooky

These were dream careers but they are very intensive too. Having a 10+ year training period medicine is one of the harder areas facing heavy attrition. However that doesn't stop others from dreaming I guess!!!

nothing about the oud you do not know about that huh taqsim music that is the tough music

Why should education and training programs for the essential front line service roles such as nursing, only be available to higher education students (after college/sixth form)? When the UK economy could benefit from having a nursing educational system available for college students. This will definitely be an option to close the gap in shortage of essential front line service members amongst the population of British citizens.

Hope their demands are met!🫡

It shows how warped our priorities are when bankster get high rewards for screwing people over and nurses get screwed over for helpling people. madness

NHS Nurses are inspirational; they are the best in the entire world and there will be shortage of valuables things on planet EARTH.

"Everybody loves success, but they hate successful people."

Really interesting

Money is the main driver ...and the opportunity to work abroad!!.💕🇬🇧🇺🇦

Nurses and drs but no one thinks of the overworked NHS receptionists. Absolutely mad for such poor pay. Currently applying for any other jobs to get away from this

Thanks to all of You for your dedication and service.

Not a single male nurse?

Why anyone would want to be a nurse in the UK, I don't know...

Vast majority of nurses are female. Unless the genders in nursing are balanced, government and society will never take this profession seriously. This is a highly skilled role that involves a lot of medical and social knowledge but the stereotype is well outdated. It's a vicious circular issue that results in persistent low pay.

Very poor news report.

Now you know what you are getting yourself into. If you don’t like it, don’t become a nurse!

Lions….👍🌹

what drew them? they watched bbc saving Afghan women and now in trap

BBC make a documentary on vinsten churchil on world war ii

Poor dears.

Unconditional right to stop our own life medically whenever we want for all adults, my body my choice.

😡All my frends don't wonna work beacouse bills are so high.....they just lost motivation for work ...if you cant safe nothing you better off staying with your parents and claim benefits.....THANKS TO this government!!!!

A nation can not be so short sight to offer tax breaks and refuse to fund its population’s healthcare requirements… That political thinking will lead to failure for a growing % of population…

How many stabjab deaths

All bumf for TV

Waste of life. They should change their minds.

Where is modi documentary

Aww bless. So much hope. The future is bright and secure. World beating. So much propaganda on other news outlets.

Student NHS nurses reveal what drew them to the profession - Sexy Doctors?

Money !

35k minimum for nurses

We're stuck we've got the corrupt Tories or corrupt labour - Starmer currently in Davos.

Money end of conversation.

We wanna watch ur truth

Women talking to women about women who're crying. >every BBC 'news' report

Clap for the NHS that had empty hospitals during lockdown

The French Revolution! It has shown a sense of superiority in capitalist society!

If they say it’s because they care about people hire them, because they’ll never strike. If you can let someone die because you want more money you don’t care!

Well done to them, but how do you weed out the psychopaths? There are some bad doctors and nurses out there and it seems you cant do anything until something goes wrong and when it does its crazy the hoops you have to jump through to get a complaint done.

Members of the public, can make what I'm doing to say make sense!!! As you know Madonna is in the the headlines about a painting she has that was supposed to be destroyed years ago, why now that she's going on tour this news has just come out considering they new Madonna had this picture since 2015? Could it a publicity stunt to boost ticket sales for her tour?! I would not be supporting anyone who's been to Epstiens Island, see the public follow the stars and celebrities not knowing nothing about their real backgrounds and when you learn about Madonna and others you'd stay far

These students don’t have a clue

What about Daria Dugina? the car of her kuiller was found in Kiev. Thanks 🇬🇧 for sponsoring that 👍

We already know the Tories will run them out

Guaranteed pension and can never be sacked.

As an empathetic, feminine and liberal minded progressive Brit I'm proud about not having a country, people or borders of my own. It makes me feel virtuous and morally superior over everyone else and in my head I tell myself that my thinking is natural and normal globally.

BBC RIP

if you start a business or make money, you need to master a high income skill to be able to do it... based on my own experience. enjoyed watching your video... a fellow creator,

They've had the applause, now the striking nhs workers need to get back to work, it's not like their on the minimum wage like a lot of carers are who basically do the same job, also they get full pay if they are on the sick, and they are working in nice warm conditions, its like everyone who is striking at the moment, they don't realise how easy they have it.
