-NHS TO TRAIN MORE NURSES AND MIDWIVES- The creation of an extra 1,000 training places for nurses and midwives was announced yesterday as part of a recruitment drive for more staff of all kinds in the National Health Service. Alan Milburn, the Health Secretary, said a £120 million investment in internal education services next year would also enable the NHS to train more medical students and junior doctors in specialities where there were vacancies. Announcing a nationwide recruitment campaign to boost the numbers of nurses in areas where shortages were most acute, he also signalled that the initiative was not a one-off exercise but would become an annual feature of the NHS. The move came as the Government published figures showing a 79 per cent increase in the number of applications for nurse and midwifery training as a result of last year's campaign. The number of nurses working in the NHS increased by 4,500 in 1999 to 304,560, equivalent to an extra 3,000 full-time posts.

Even though it isn't the norm it does happen with surprising frequency, I've heard a ton of horror stories about second year students having responsibility for whole wards on millennium night and students being used as (seriously) underpaid aux's (and if were honest that's pretty common, right?) Anyway lectures to get to and all that, speak soon, Lee.

Re: Annoyed at the system
Geez, you sound like you had a terrible time Casbah! I am about to start the graduate nursing course, so I dont know about 2.5 years into the course... however, I done a pre-nursing course a few years back with ward placements and I had nothing but encouragement, infact they were keen to teach me procedures I should have known nothing about at that time! As for hardening yourself, what can you do? You are the student, they have the control. Have you thought about completing your course at another college/uni, I know that your experience of treatment of nursing students is not the norm. Claire

Annoyed at the system
Looks like I am the only person to rant here ;-) I just dropped out of my nursing course 10 months before registration..insane I hear you say?..Well..am I the only one who feels used and abused over the last 2.5 years? Just wondered, in placements I felt useless and was made to feel like I shouldn't be there and lost all my confidence..most times the tutors were unhelpful to say the least, when I complained....though I have to say, they all hugged me and said it would be ok when I asked for temporary withdrawal from the course due to flailing confidence. Anyone got any views on how I can harden myself to the treatment on placements for when I go back? :o) Luv, Casbah

Research Question from CANADA
Hi: I'm a third year nursing student in Vancouver, B. C., Canada. I am working on a research project regarding the use of bladder instillation verse bladder scanners or suprapubic catheters to measure residual urine after surgeries such as bladder suspenions. I would love to hear what other hospitals are doing. What's your experience. Email ASAP!! Thanks.

Australia
Dear students I am an editor of a student newsletter that runs Australia wide. I am looking for a global view as well as an Australian view. Issues, news, items of interests or anything else you can think of that is related to nursing would be very useful. Some examples could be the cost of studying in Britain, job or scholarship opportunities, the logistics of studying, the relationships between students and your lecturers or those already qualified and is it all really worth it? In Australia we are trying to find out why rates of retention are so low. There are also concerns that our health care system is not meeting the needs of people. Any help would be fantastic! You can email me at holleran@dcsi.net.au or write a letter to me at PO Box 366 Drouin Victoria 3818 Australia. Thanks very much for your time!
