Then you are not a nurse, you are a student. You must have a PIN number to legally call yourself a nurse. I am a Registered Nurse and for the last 10 years have been working in a trauma intensive care unit. Death is so much a part of my life we are on first name terms, and in my professional opinion, survivalists are utterly bonkers.
WOAH PAL! You are out of order!
It is not illegal to call yourself a Nurse. It IS ILLEGAL to call yourself a Registered Nurse. Try looking it up on the NMC website. The word NURSE is NOT a protected professional term, but REGISTERED NURSE IS. I did however say ''nurse (nearly qualified)'' which in implys being a Student Nurse. I merely said nurse, because it is easier for others to understand and I apologise if some have misunderstood - there was no intention of duping or misleading anyone, it was just a bad choice of words.
For your information, I have worked as a senior HCA and as a seconded student since 2000. I have passed my finals and will qualify (hopefully) in approximately 10 weeks time.
You Martyn have picked up on this as you do not agree with this thread and therefore have made this a personal attack and tried to discredit anything I have said.
