Politicians meddling with nursing - Lilith7 - 07-09-2025
It seems like sheer idiocy
Health NZ have committed to employ all graduate nurses, but for most or possibly even all, it may mean just 24 hours of work a week. Fgs what the hell IS wrong with this govt, are they quite determined to destroy our health system by every means possible & so move to a privatised health system?
They seem headed towards being a one term govt, & perhaps that's the problem; they've realised they won't be voted back & now want to do as much damage as they can before the next election.

Yes, I think that's very likely.
Miserable lot.

This creates a vacuum pulling in taxi drivers from the universe to fill the gap, but they usually end up surgeons

I comfort myself with the knowledge that eventually these damned fools will require the services of a nurse...
