Nurses tell the Guardian of their disappointment after a morale crushing year and how they now see their future

“Morale is so low and colleagues are suffering from depression and anxiety for what they have been through and witnessed during the pandemic. The proposed pay rise will destroy some people.staff, and I for one will be supporting industrial action if the unions think it’s the only viable option.”Jim Gough, 58, a nurse at the Royal University hospital in Liverpool, has worked in intensive care since 1993.

Why do nurses feel that they are above everybody else in this country. If you don't like your pay just look for another job. I'd give the armed forces a pay rise before nurses.

There should be maximum salaries for all government paid jobs

Poor pay offer from public or private hospitals deserves be controlled .It degrades public health.

.BorisJohnson and his Govt's loathing and contempt for ordinary people is writ large daily; compare NHS staff treatment with the largesse given to Tory cronies: be disgusted and kick them out of office.

Some don’t have jobs to go back to? Get your priorities right

Undervalued, underpaid and overworked.

Are you listening MattHancock? Do you care MattHancock?

I can't believe they are that lucky to get any sort of pay rise ...

What's up? Was the clapping not sufficient?

So much for the promise, on BJ big red bus'Leave the EU, £350 million towards the NHS'. So how does BJ get out of more of his bullshit lies

There is no greater joy than having financial stability and a life free of debts, that’s why I keep tweeting a comment about gigsfrid

If Boris or Govt ministers dare to visit hospitals, turn your back on them. The Public will support you.

Overworked, stressed and living in debt: Why NHS student nurses want paying‘People won’t go into nursing because they just won’t be able to afford to continue. Sometimes you get home and you just feel so exhausted. You wonder, can I go and do that tomorrow? Because effectively I’m just being used.’ Join the nhs. Work excessively long hours. Pay high parking fees. Put in years of studying. Accrue years of uni fees. Rely on PPE being supplied and fit for purpose 🙄. MattHancock and BorisJohnson, without one medical degree between them, sit safely at home on fat salaries. Why are the students going into nursing at such a high level then? 🤔
