That is awful! I don't why people go into caring jobs if they are not caring people.
[/QUOTi think for some nurseA lot of them in my workplace retire at 55 and take their lump sum and come back pt time or move to agency work.I think nurses can claim their NHS pension at 55. Not 100% sure of this though.
I'm also not sure that the income generated by an NHS pension would be enough to live on. The retired nurse that I know works as a delivery driver 2 days a week now.
