Hi Schola, I worked as a registered nurse for 7 years and left the profession in 2017. It's a different ball game in the NHS compared to the Nursing Home. It's best to do a year on the wards as you get the experience and confidence. When you a permanent NHS staff nurse You will get continuous professional development. When your bank staff nurse it is assumed that you know what you're doing, nobody will have the time for you. Why not do bank in the Out Patient's clinic it is a bit easier, you will be working alongside the consultants taking blood chaperoning patients, and administering injections depending on the clinic ..
Not a good idea to start bank shift without working in d hospital for at least 3months, for your own and patient’s safety. I moved for a care home to d nhs n I can tell you for a fact dat is not d same at all and you do need basic experience
@@ifee2644 You are 100% right. i wish someone told me this earlier before i changed my permanent job to a bank job. I thought i was going to get supervised by another nurse for a while even though it's a bank shift but i was wrong. they really expect you to come in and hit the ground running
Exactly my thoughts on this . I am a student nurse and i can tell you that before a newly qualified nurse can take up bank roles, he or she must have gone through a preceptorship for at least 6 months . That way the NHSP considers you as fit for the role because obviously you won’t be banking permanently in your ward. You need to have taken up hospital roles before you decided to join the hospital. It’s a different ball game entirely here
@@ScholasticaUgbokaand that’s what bank roles entail. They believe you have the necessary knowledge , skills and experience . In fact they will leave you to do everything because you’re on your own 😂
I had the same experience Schola. I have a year working in the nhs but in the recovery. I picked my first bank shift I the stroke unit. That was worst day ever😅. I got there and was given the most sick patients with tracheostomies, PEG feeds etc. I was so terrified and I almost dropped the shift. The nurse who was handing over to me noted it and informed the charge nurse. I thanked the Lord for I was later given 3 patients who were not very ill and was given a supernumerary IEN to work with and she knew a lot of things. It's not that easy I do understand.
Hi Schola, I don't think its really a problem of term. I did same like you, applied for a bank shift too with no hospital experience and I was given the job. After all the employment checks were done, they gave me 1 induction shift without me having to ask😂😂. Its normal practice everywhere in the Uk that you never start a job especially healthcare without an Induction. Your employee should have known that. Well, cont with my story, the 1 induction shift was not enough, so I requested for another and it was granted. I did a couple of bank shifts at the but I struggled. After the 3 independent shifts, I still do not feel confident working as bank staff. The best thing is to work in the NHS permanently for atleast 6months then you can join the bank.
Its the bank office fault. Induction is for bank staffs on new wards. They should have booked you on a Supervised shift which means you would be shadowing someone
Before working bank in hospital u MUST work as a permanent staff first n gain the experience. As a permanent staff ur supernumerary for 3months then u can work alone. It’s also best to try out bank work while u still have ur permanent job to see if you like it. You can reduce ur permanent job hours or do bank n ur time off or leave.
Please Nurses, if you decide to work as a bank or agency nurse, you should know you will be the one responsible for your shift, you already know your stuff and induction is all you need. If you need a supervised shift apply for a permanent position.
You were very lucky, one day of supervision is not enough. There is a lot to learn especially in a respiratory unit. Just be weary of ending up making mistakes that might get you struck of NMC register and end your career. It's a very serious matter. I think you should look into a bridging preceptorship programme.
@@merci_gratia It is a very big change especially when you move after staying in the care home for so long. i really regret not leaving earlier. Things are beginning to make sense a little now but i still struggle with some tasks occasionally especially documentation.
Hello Scholastica, I hope you know your Employers do not appreciate being dragged, you can share your experience without the name NHS or their logo, report your concerns internally, and remember they have social media monitors, so you don't say its your village people when the consequences happen
So far she's is not dragging any employer in this video, she just narrated her experience for other people to learn from her mistakes. Don't take it out of context
Thank you @enoekanem5853, i know you are speaking from a place of love and concern but i just wanted to make it clear so there is no misunderstanding that i am not in any way dragging any employer, i did not say anything bad about the hospital and i also acknowledged in the video that i was wrong for picking the wrong shift because i thought the term induction was the same as preceptorship. it was all a misunderstanding which was sorted out and i was sent the right shifts after the misunderstanding was cleared. I am grateful for the opportunity and i don't think they were at fault in any way. I wouldn't have stayed and risked my pin without having supervision from a senior nurse. i went for the shift thinking that was what i was going to get
As a practitioner you're to do substantive role in a hospital before doing bank, simply because you have never been in the hospital environment prior to that. What happened been sent home is better the working on egg shell . Human being have complex needs especially on a respiratory ward.
Honestly speaking it was your own fault initially you applied for a permanent position that’s where you should have started your first hospital job as supernumerary nurse until you gain experience to be able to work on your own, that usually takes more than six months before you could join agency or bank, you made a wrong move by joining bank at that early stage, that’s putting patient’s care at risk, the ward sister did the right thing to send you home
Thanks for the reply, that is the point of the video. i made a mistake changing my permanent job for a bank job. i thought i was going to get the same preceptorship program that permanent staffs gets. The bank office sent me supervised shifts later on but i wanted to make this video so that others who are thinking of going this same route can know the difference and know what to expect. it is better to start as a permanent staff especially if you have never worked in a UK hospital setting
I suggest you seek for an advise prior to your decision on any task/ Job . In NHS Hospital , you must have had 6 months preceptorship and drug assessment done & passed to qualify for a registered NHS nurse. You took wrong decision by replacing permanent job offered to bank shift. Nursing home protocols is totally different to nhs hospital settings - Is that ok. Engaging on bank shift requires 6 months experience in hospital ward settings.
hmm the lord is your muscle 💪 😂, if you are lucky enough to start in a good ward and if the bank office is willing to give you supervised shifts then you ll be fine.
Sincerely you supposed to take a permanent role even if it just for a year then you can start bank job . NHS is not a play . I too left from care home to nhs but didn’t stay for 5 years like yours. I took a permanent role and may later change to bank shift after my ILR .
You took the right route, that is the best way. i regret not starting the permanent job when they asked me to start. if i had known what i know now i wouldn't have changed my permanent job to a bank job
My dear you did nothing wrong & did well speaking up.If you are not comfortable, go to where you are wanted & where you will be trained. If you are in a place where they don't want you,run & find elsewhere. At the end of the day you need not only the money but peace of mind while ensuring patients safety without compromising your pin.
@@irw. u got it all wrong. The nmc talk about knowing your limitations which she did and made the sister aware. But that she was not wanted, that's not true The sister was right 100%
@@ScholasticaUgboka Yes, very similar to care home. We care mostly for Dementia pts, most of the pts are confused, admitted due to Fall, Reduced mobility, most pts admitted with medical conditions are not really Acute. I intend to transition into Nursing home because I previously worked there as a Care assistant and I feel we do the same thing in my Ward.
Nothing will prepare you for UK hospital 😂. Left nursing home to the NHS I don’t even want to talk about the handover but the stress eh basically I was using my break to find one corner to sit down first to sleep instead of eating. Transitioning from Perm night to day was hell every morning I’ll wake up with anger 😂 going back home with anger it got to a point I was asking myself how did I get into this career again?!
less than 10 mins? i dont think the information will be passed in less than 10 mins o. i did a video like that one time and i didnt post it because it felt like it was not good enough, it didn't have enough information. it was just surface level. i think short videos works best for entertainment channels not educational channels
Hi, you took a big leap without looking. Induction don’t really have anything to do with the care, it just for you to know where things are kept and how to go around on the ward. I feel you should have spoken to an NHS nurse who would have prepared your mind on what to expect and give you head up about the hospital environment. You don’t need an induction at that point, you need a bridging program.
Maybe the terminology was wrong. If I got you right you were rather seeking for a supervised shift or ‘shadowing’ (term used mostly in care). Thanks for sharing.
yes exactly, that was what i requested from the bank office but i referred to it as an induction not knowing that induction means something different in the hospital
No one will show you the ropes once you come in as bank or agency. You are expected to know everything needed to work independently if you nau go to a unit that is not supportive to agency staff that's another gbege. I'm sure it's a big change from being in care home to working with the nhs especially without the supervision and support a full staff would get at the start. Even people who don't work in bedside e.g theatres, icu who come to the wards struggle You'll surely settle in with time, maybe find a ward that has supportive staff and book your shifts with them mostly
You had no idea of what you were putting yourself in girl. From nursing home to a UK respiratory ward??was risky. Working nights sounds good but it's the worst for your health. Thank you for sharing so others can become aware. This kind of ignorance can cost you your Pin. Being in charge is no joke my daughter. Your first time yes you should have had an induction, thanks for exposing that. That's the way things are going now.
