Hi @Martin Hogan that has really scared me. I haven't done agency work, now i have read this, I'm not sure I ever will. The ward you worked on sounds as if there is a disaster waiting to happen.
As an agency nurse how empowered are you to speak up? As an agency nurse are you able to use the FTSUG (freedom to speak up guardian) at that Trust if you are not an actual member of that Trust?
I wonder if patients realise the risk that transient staff pose if they haven't had appropriate induction.
Thanks so much for posting..... I look forward to hearing more
