Sue,
I agree there are plenty of us, like Arlene, who have shown years of loyalty to the NHS and are still treated shabbily, its no coincidence that so many of us are on our way.
Arlene, do you regret not having that sickie on visa night?

the downside to agency is that they can suddenly run out of work...especially around March/April, as the nhs starts realising it has overspent on its budget and is about to get an almighty bollocking for it!! You can also end up going to dull places - which if you enjoy a fast pace, busy work environment, is very boring!!!
You could also end up with the boss from hell who sees you have experience in a certain area, that no other nurse on their books would touch with a barge pole, and wont give you any other work except there!
To finish it off, you get at least 4 phonecalls a day ''just to see if you are available''. can get tiresome, speshly if you have just finished nights!!!
But the money is better....and there are a hell of a lot of agencies out there!!!
what line of work are you in WBB?
Think the missus would like to see you in a blue dress and sussies??
