The article discusses the undervaluation of the nursing profession, primarily attributed to its predominately female workforce. Professor Nicola Ranger, general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), highlights that this demographic factor significantly impacts salary and investment in nursing. At the RCN's annual congress, she emphasizes the urgent need for government support and proper funding, warning that nurses' patience is running out, which could jeopardize future healthcare reforms. The article underlines the importance of valuing nursing work and ensuring that necessary resources are allocated properly.
The nursing profession is undervalued and underpaid due to being a predominantly female field, and nurses require more than just sympathy from the government.
Patience is wearing thin for nurses, and governmental efforts to reform the health service are doomed to fail without proper investment in the nursing profession.
