    Staff Nurse Salary

    A staff nurse, or adult nurse, cares for over 18 year olds in hospital.  Your patients may be ill, injured, mentally ill or physical disabled. You need to be kind, warm, firm and have excellent communication skills. Your work will be frustrating, hard and difficult but also rewarding.  You will need to be proactive and deal with problems as they arise. An ability to deal with emergency situations is also essential so a calm and practical approach is ideal.

    Your actual work will involve the general care of patients like checking temperatures and blood pressure, administering medicines and treatments, dressing wounds or taking blood, liaising with the doctors and keeping excellent records and writing reports. You will be using different technology and machines although training will be provided.  You can specialise in a particular area like the elderly, terminally sick, cardiac, outpatients, A & E etc…

    A Criminal Records Bureau check is needed to work closely with patients. You will need to be in good health to train as a nurse and demonstrate good English and Maths skills. A degree is needed to complete your training as a nurse as the current diploma is only a valid entry route until Spring 2013.

    Starting salary: £21,176 – £27,534
    Experienced salary: £30,460 – £40,157 
    Senior salary: £55,945

    I think the job of a nurse would be incredibly rewarding. Personally, I’m far too squeamish to deal with the things they deal with, but I have friends who are nurses and my sister nearly went to study nursing at university.
