    Oh Dear : 'Man' who threatens to rape nurses to be treated in private ward

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/...st/4942746.stm

    "Attacker given own hospital ward

    Donald Gibson is to use a special £18,000 private ward
    A man who has a court order banning him from attacking staff at a hospital in Edinburgh is to be treated in a £18,000 private ward.
    Donald Gibson, who needs kidney dialysis three times a week to keep him alive, is to use an "isolation facility" at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

    Gibson of Broomhouse Park in the capital, was taken to court by the NHS in a bid to stop him terrorising staff.

    He is reported to have threatened to rape and murder nurses at the hospital.

    David Bolton, chief operating officer of NHS Lothian's University Hospitals Division, said: "We have already converted a small store room in the renal out-patients department for any patients who require to be treated in isolation, and we are now also converting part of the main renal ward to provide an isolation facility there.

    "Isolation facilities are required for a range of clinical and non-clinical reasons including infection control. "
    "


    Oh just let him die.

    "Student nurse fears over NHS jobs

    Students are seeking NHS posts
    Thousands of student nurses face being left without NHS jobs as trusts impose recruitment freezes because of mounting deficits, nursing leaders have warned.
    About 20,000 nurses will graduate this year - and as many as half may struggle to get employment.


    Nurses at the Royal College of Nursing conference called for the government to guarantee graduate nurses have roles to go on to - as happens in Scotland.

    The government said there were still jobs, but graduates had to be flexible.

    There is hellish anxiety about future careers

    Richard Cummins, RCN Association of Nursing Students

    RCN general secretary Beverly Malone said it was ¿short-sighted¿ to spend money training nurses and then not have positions to go on to.

    The average cost of training a nurse for three years is £100,000.

    Ms Malone said: ¿All these nurses are waiting in the wings. It is very distressing.

    ¿It seems so short-sighted in terms of workforce planning.

    ¿The government is hoping to bring more new nurses in the community but they are cutting off the pipeline.¿

    She added many nurses were approaching retirement age and without them being replaced the country was facing a "time-bomb".

    'Such a waste'

    Richard Cummins, chairman of the RCN's Association of Nursing Students, said: "There is hellish anxiety about future careers. The problem is only going to get worse and there is a great deal of worry."

    He said among his group at the University of Sheffield only seven out of 35 had been offered jobs.

    Grant Ciccone, who is in his final weeks at the University of Central England, said he had applied to 50 trusts without success and was now considering an offer from Tesco.

    "It seems such as waste of money to spend all this time training us and then have no jobs to go on to."

    Mark Waterman, a 34-year-old student nurse at Coventry University, added: "It is very worrying.

    "I really wanted to go in to nursing and left a job at a computer software company, thinking that was an end to the rat race. But now hundreds of nurses are going for one position."

    But a Department of Health spokeswoman said: "There are still jobs for newly qualified staff in many different areas of the NHS."

    However, she added graduates would need to be more "flexible" about where and what they wanted to do. "

      In other words they need to be prepared to work at McDonald's and/or Tesco instead.

          Maybe Tesco should move into healthcare.... sell the punters food, place fatty eye-catching products near the checkouts, and have a 'while-u-wait' liposuction van just outside the exit....

          Or maybe go for the advertising angle 'you are more likely to survive a heart attack while shopping with us as most of our shelf stackers have medical training....'

            They have a solution

            The nurses have a solution to this problem , a quick rummige around the pharmacy and 10 mins later the post mortem will confirm death by natural causes and all body parts can then be dispatched first class.
